Raiders of the Lost Ark

Introduction Scene.....

Typical Costume of Indiana Jones

Even before “Surrogates” I had this movie in my mind to write here.

Steven Spielberg – Harrison Ford. What a combination! When you go to a movie which has one of the best directors and one of the best actors, you will expect more. This movie has live up to its expectation & reputation and got success for its lethal combination. No disappointment to the fans at all.

This is the first movie of Indiana Jones franchise. When you see Indiana Jones, he may remind you a little bit of James Bond. But still he excels in his own style. This movie was released on June 12, 1981 and won in five categories (Art Direction, Film Editing, Sound, Visual Effects, and Sound Effects Editing) in 1982 Academy Awards.

In this movie, Indiana Jones takes Nazis who are in search for the Ark of the Covenant, in an attempt to make their army invincible. How the treasure hunter-cum-archeologist fights the Nazis and overcome them forms the rest of the story.

Following the huge success, there are 3 more movies in this series till date. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

My favorite order in this series is...

1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Thanks to two legends, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford, I enjoyed the humor very much in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. You can also say in comments about your favorite one from this list!
