Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981): Indiana Jones and the Ark of the Covenant

     Directed by Steven Spielberg, from a story by George Lucas, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) was inspired by the serials of the 1930's and 1940's… and made Archaeology seem cool and adventurous to a younger audience. The WWII era story concerns Indiana Jones, charged with finding the fabled Ark of the Covenant in Egypt before Adolf Hitler can get hold of it. Hitler believes that the Biblical artifact will make his Nazi army invincible. Historical accuracy is set aside for spectacle and entertainment. Great attention to detail was given in the scenes depicting the golden Ark of the Covenant with it's Mercy Seat of Winged Cherubim. Harrison Ford is excellent as Indiana Jones. Karen Allen is beautiful as Marian Ravenwood. The supporting cast is good as well, including John Rhys-Davies and Denholm Elliot.
