Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal

Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal is the feature-length pilot episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series. It debuted on ABC on March 4, 1992.

The story was devised to introduce viewers to the two young actors who would be playing the title character in the series. Corey Carrier plays a nine-year-old Indiana Jones in the first half, and in the second half Sean Patrick Flanery continues the story as a sixteen-year-old Indy. George Hall appears at the beginning and end of the movie (in the so-called "bookend" segments) as a 93-year-old Indy.

Though Curse of the Jackal was released in its original form on home video in the UK, it was split in two and re-edited with other material for The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones VHS series in the United States. The segment with Corey Carrier was combined with an unaired episode of the series&mdash;"Tangiers, 1908"&mdash;and released as Travels with Father. The segment with Sean Patrick Flanery was combined with the "Princeton, 1916" episode to become Spring Break Adventure.
