| | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)Synopsis: One of the most ingenious movies of all time, this high-action adventure is pure entertainment. Who can forget the boulder inexorably rolling towards Harrison Ford in the cave? The film, winner of 4 Academy Awards®, has acclaimed director Steven Spielberg weaving the spell-binding tale of American archaeologist Indiana Jones (Golden Globe® winner Ford, Hollywood Homicide, K-19: The Widowmaker) --- mild-mannered, boyish, and crush-inducing university professor on some days, intrepid, swashbuckling and grizzled adventurer on others. The American government hires him to search for the elusive and legendary Ark of the Covenant believed to hold the stone tablet with the Ten Commandments inside. Jones has to find it before the Nazis do, as whoever finds it controls the destiny of the human race. Together with old flame Marion (Allen, When Will I Be Loved, In The Bedroom) the two travel to the far-flung corners of the globe and brave all sorts of mishaps and near-death experiences to find the Ark. © A.M.P.A.S.® Casts: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies Duration : 110 minutes
