Thanks to 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade filming in this ancient city in the south of the small Western Asian country, moviegoers were given a glimpse of ancient architecture like The Treasury, pictured here.
Quantum of Solace, the 2008 installment in the James Bond franchise, took viewers to the more desolate and surreal regions of this imposing desert in the South American country.
No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. As the world's largest salt flat, this 3,900-square-mile playa near the crest of the Andes in South America is essentially a pure white desert, desolate and deceptively reflective. Star Wars fans were transported to the otherworldly region in 2017's The Last Jedi, where it stood in for the planet Crait.
This breathtaking geological formation, an example of badlands erosion, was unforgettably used as the filming location for part of the Paths of the Dead sequence in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, released in 2003.
When Marvel was looking for locations to stand in for Wakanda in aerial shots used in 2018's Black Panther, they turned to this 124-square-mile park in southwestern Uganda. Celebrated for its species diversity, the park is almost as secluded as the nation it represented on screen. It's accessible only by foot.
The Last Jedi also introduced moviegoers to this twin-pinnacled crag just off the west coast of Ireland in the Atlantic, using it as the remote island on Ahch-To where Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) had cloistered himself. The island was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
Though it may appear pleasant and unassuming here, this park system situated in the foothills and front ranges of the Canadian Rockies just west of Calgary, Alberta, Canada is where director Alejandro González Iñárritu spent most of his time torturing Leonardo DiCaprio to an Oscar win in 2015's The Revenant.
In the very last scene of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, directors Anthony and Joe Russo needed somewhere to let Thanos rest after snapping half of all life out of existence. Standing in for the peaceful and unnamed planet where the villain took his leave were these terraces carved into the mountains in Ifugao in the Philippines, occasionally referred to as the unofficial "Eighth Wonder of the World."
While the floating Hallelujah Mountains seen on Pandora in James Cameron's 2009 blockbuster Avatar were almost entirely digitally created, they were inspired by this astonishing park in the Hunan Province of China.
This red sand desert in Jordan, also known as the Valley of the Moon, stood in for Mars in the 2015 film The Martian, starring Matt Damon. It wasn't the first to make use of the gorgeous locale, however. Tourism in the region began way back in 1962 after Lawrence of Arabia filmed there.
