“It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”
Steven Spielberg’s monumentally awesome RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK is a pop-culture touchstone for any 80s kid and is always on our list as a “must be seen on the big screen” because it was so intentionally crafted as a genuine cinematic celebration of the innocent adventure movies of an earlier era. Harrison Ford stars in this epic tale as the intrepid Professor Indiana Jones, renowned, intrepid archaeologist and expert in the occult with a penchant for whip-cracking and fedoras. He is hired by the U.S government and tasked with the critical quest of artifact retrieval – he must find the storied ark of the covenant, which is believed to still hold the Ten Commandments. Unfortunately, Hitler’s agents are also after the ark, meaning he must beat a band of Nazis to this uniquely powerful religious relic that is central to advancing their plans for world domination. Battling against a snake phobia and an angry ex-girlfriend, Jones is in constant peril while making hair’s-breadth escapes at every turn, from Nepal to Cairo. Also starring Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, Alfred Molina, Denholm Elliott.
