An epic tale of an intrepid archaeologist trying to beat a band of Nazis to a unique religious relic, central to their plans for world domination. Battling against a snake phobia and a vengeful ex-girlfriend, Indiana Jones is in constant peril, making hair-breadth escapes at every turn. A celebration of the innocent adventure movies of an earlier era.
“…Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most deliriously funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made.” — Vincent Canby, New York Times
