Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark


Many great films were directed by Steven Spielberg and Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark is no exception. In 1981, this film hit the box office and it has been a legend since then. Adventure is what fuels Indiana Jones as he goes on an expedition to take the Ark of the Covenant from the Nazis before they can use it for evil purposes. As Indiana searches for the artifact, he falls into numerous traps and daring escapes.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a film that grabs the audience at the beginning and doesn't let go until the very end. As Indiana Jones makes his way to the Lost Ark in an attempt to snatch it before the Nazis, he runs into numerous traps from which he must make split second decisions in order to save himself. The amazing stunts done in this film cause the audience to sit at the edge of their seats as Indiana Jones escapes from seemingly impossible situations. This nail-biting excitement could not be accomplished without the help of executive producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg.

The past productions that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have done has made it possible for such an amazing movie to be made. However, the entire movie is not good simply because of the production. The use of humor and the character's styles also make this film one that will not be soon forgotten. The humor is not very frequent in the dialogue of the characters, but rather in the actions that take place. For instance, one such moment is when the swordsman faces off with Indy in the marketplace. He shows off his sword skills and then waits for Indy to demonstrate his skills. Instead, Indiana Jones just shoots him and then continues his task at hand.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one such film that is a classic and holds up to the hype. The amazing staff along with the actors all come together to create a film that will not be forgotten. This classic Nazi film is one that is memorable, to say the least.
