LOS ANGELES - Indiana Jones entered the atomic age in his latest movie. Now he's joining the Blu-ray era.

The blockbuster "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" arrives on DVD and Blu-ray high-definition disc Oct. 14, distributor Paramount announced Tuesday.

The first "Indiana Jones" flick in 19 years, "Crystal Skull" reunited Harrison Ford in the title role with director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas, who collaborated on the franchise's three previous installments.

The film moved the archaeologist-adventurer from the 1930s of his earlier exploits into the nuclear age of the 1950s.

"Crystal Skull" will be available on a single-disc DVD with just the film or in two-disc DVD and Blu-ray sets. Extras in the two-disc sets will include a segment on how the new movie evolved over its long development period; a production diary including glimpses of location shoots in New Mexico, Connecticut and Hawaii; and segments on makeup, visual effects and the crystal skulls at the heart of the action.

A DVD boxed set with all four movies also will be available.

Paramount and Lucasfilm have not yet announced when the first three movies will be released on Blu-ray.

"Crystal Skull" has taken in about $770 million worldwide, including $314 domestically.
