Customer Reviews

Harrison Ford makes history come to life.

This is the first in a series of fun-to-watch, action-packed movies based on what an archeologist should be. Being a first, you will not notice the pattern of the film unless you are used to Saturday matinees. We hit the ground running on this one, as we see Indiana Jones making a John Wayne-type of entrance. So much so that you do not notice the dubious-looking character next to him, Statipo (Alfred Molina). Until he says, "Give me the Idle and I will give you the whip." Now settled down, after his near-miss with the natives, Harrison Ford is a professor (Indiana Jones) teaching the fact that archeology is a search for facts, not some thrill ride. That very afternoon, he is confronted by some government agents. It seems that his old professor, Abner Ravenwood, has disappeared. They picked up some radio transmissions that contained the name of Abner and a city named Tannis. Immediately, Indiana Jones knows that the Nazis (natural bad guys) are looking for the Ark of the Covenant (which can be used as a weapon of unspeakable power) and somehow, he must beat them to it for the sake of the world. He is helped by an old love interest, Marion (Karen Allen), and rivaled by an old nemesis, Dr. Rene Belloq (Paul Freeman). Does the Ark exist? How can he beat them to it? Why is he on the outs with Abner? Hold on for a thrill, a minute, and do not eat any bad dates.
