Raiders of the Lost Ark

directed by Steven Spielberg

with Harrison Ford, Karen Allen

film series Raiders Tribute

In this, the first of the Indy Jones flicks, Harrison Ford and his bullwhip must stop the Nazis from finding the world's most powerful weapon: The Ark of the Convenant. In the spirit of the great '30s adventure serials, the hunky archaeologist fends off poison darts, tarantulas, steel-toothed doors, traps and snares—not to mention the biggest boulder you've ever seen. 35mm Cinemascope.
