Here we are at the number one spot of our countdown and topping the chart of cinema's most memorable hero is action man himself Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones, one of the most iconic action heroes, is all set to make a return to the big screen this May after an almost twenty year hiatus.

For more than twenty five years the expeditions and exploits of Jones, professor by day adventurer by night, have excited and thrilled cinema go-ers.

The character of Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, was introduced in 1981 with the release of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, which was set in 1936.

Indy is a respected archaeologist and professor at a college in New England. But Jones is pitted against the Nazis as they try to discover the location of the ark of the Covenant, which is believed to contain the Ten Commandments, in a bid to make their army invincible.

Temple of Doom was a prequel to Raider of the Lost Ark set in 1935. Jones is searching for three mystical stones that have been stolen from an Indian village.

During the search he stumbles across a dangerous cult that are using children as slaves.
