I have thought about how in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the Soviet Union officials are the villains, but they are shown to be acting in reaction to existing United States weaponry and technology that is threatening their country and government. RedLetterMedia does good job of explaining this in their review of the movie.

However, their main goal is to use the titular skull for mind control against Earth's population.

      I have never seen the movie, but, as I understand, Ed Harris (the villain) has justifiable motives, but he kills and/or orders the murder of innocent people.

        he threatens to, i can't remember if he was bluffing or not. his motives are mostly justifiable, probably, but less so when you're explaining them to communists lol
