In December 1998, the synopsis of a script entitled Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men from Mars appeared online. Purportedly written by Jeb Stuart, from a story by Stuart and Lucas, the script found Indy involved in a race between the Americans and the Soviets to discover the secrets of a crashed alien spacecraft's fuel supply. Though the veracity of the screenplay synopsis was never verified, it did include a scene in which Indy survives a nuclear explosion by hiding in a lead-lined refrigerator so it appears to have been genuine.
