Is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom based on a true story?

All movies are based on a true story.

Yes, all of that was real👍

Absolutely. I still think it's mean for the Ethiopian Christians to keep the Ark of the Covenant all to themselves and not give anyone else a look at it.

Yes, it's a documentary.

Yes, it is considered to be one of the most historically accurate films ever made, right up there with Schindler's List and Apollo 13

Based on my autobiography, Stratego and the Temple of Boom. They changed enough to avoid a lawsuit.

I don't know about that, but I did read that it was meant to be a prequel to "Raiders of the Lost Ark," telling about Indy's earlier adventures before WWII started. The trouble is, this movie was so bad, it doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the trilogy, and sticks out like a sore thumb.
