City of the Gods included all the elements 'suggested' by George Lucas through the film's long development and that can be seen both in the final film and in earlier drafts like Indiana Jones and the Saucermen from Mars: a late 1950s setting, the presence of the Red Scare, aliens, UFOs, Soviet agents, army ants, somebody swinging on a vine, a chase on a rocket-sled and Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast inside a lead-lined refrigerator. Again like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull but unlike Saucermen from Mars, City of the Gods included a crystal skull as the story's McGuffin, and a returned Marion Ravenwood as Indy's love interest.

Spielberg and Lucas discussed the script's story in April 2000 (which they called Lost City of the Gods), which Darabont was hired to write in July 2002. He turned in drafts in May and November 2003. Lucas had issues with it, and he began rewriting it (titling it Phantom City of the Gods).
