About the Film
In Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), professor of archeology and “obtainer of rare antiquities” Indiana “Indy” Jones (Harrison Ford) is tasked by U.S. Army Intelligence to recover the legendary Ark of the Covenant before it falls into the hands of the Nazis. Indy’s quest takes him to Nepal and Egypt, reuniting him with an old friend (John Rhys-Davies), an old foe (Paul Freeman), and an ex-flame (Karen Allen) who falls somewhere in between. Armed with his hat, whip and wits, the intrepid hero must face formidable enemies—and impossible odds—to save the day and the world.
