Indiana Jones and the Sons of Darkness is a fan made script written in 1995 by Robert Marshall Smith without the endorsement of Lucasfilm. In 1996 Smith himself released the script to the internet, falsely crediting it to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade writer Jeffrey Boam and telling that it had been given to him by a dissatisfied courier. Lucasfilm started a persecution of the false script immediately, petitioning several webpages to delete it. This actually gave the script even more popularity and diffusion as many people though that if Lucasfilm was after it, it had to be real.
