Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark [M]

Meet Dr. Indiana Jones: architect, professor, adventurer, and finder of rare treasures. When members of the U.S government approach him and ask him to find the Lost Ark, the ancient Ark that carried the Ten Commandments, he is more than willing to go on the quest. However, clues to finding the Ark are scattered throughout the world and unfortunately, Indiana is not the only person after it. The Nazis are diligently digging in Cairo, being aided by Dr. Jones’ French rival. Can Jones discover the Ark before it falls into the wrong hands? 

The Indiana Jones films are epic adventures that have no expiration date. They’re really just like the Star Wars movies, though not science fiction. As far as action films go, they have the perfect amount of action, comedy, gore, supernatural themes, and romance. They’re absolutely perfect. 

Meet Dr. Indiana Jones: architect, professor, adventurer, and finder of rare treasures and artefacts. After being foiled in his search for a rare golden idol in South America by his French rival Belloq, Dr. Jones is approached by the U.S government and asked to find the Lost Ark: a chest in which the Hebrews kept the Ten Commandments. Naturally, he is eager to take up the challenge, but his problem is this; there are many clues scattered over the world that can lead to the resting place of the Lost Ark and, unfortunately, Dr. Jones is not the only one seeking it. Hitler has developed an obsession with the occult and, for the past two years, has had teams of archaeologists digging for religious artefacts all over the world. Now, aided by Jones’ rival Belloq, the Nazis are close to discovering the final resting place of the Ark. Teaming up with his feisty ex-flame Marion, can Dr. Jones find the Ark before it falls into the wrong hands? 

This movie is just good, rollicking fun! Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones and no one else could have played this part. It seems like it was almost written for him. He was charming, aggressive, handsome, and sometimes very funny. He was absolutely perfect. 

The special effects are a bit out-dated and rough, but the story and the characters, and the music, and everything is SO good that it’s not a big deal. That’s what makes a great movie, being able to look past the faults. 

Starring Karen Allen, Alfred Molina, John Rhys-Davies, Paul Freeman, Ronald Lacey, and Denholm Elliott, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is a gripping and rollicking film filled with action, violence, gore, supernatural themes, international settings, comedy, live animals, and romance. Backed by its wonderful fact-filled and rock solid story, it’s a film that you can always come back to. An action-packed epic. LOVE IT.
