Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
In 1936, archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before Adolf Hitler's Nazis can obtain its awesome powers.
"Written by George Lucas around the same time as "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones" was inspired by 1930s movie serials. Considered one of the best movies of all time, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a gem of an adventure movie that has it all: action, witty dialogue with humor, and a great story. An essential eighties classic and the entry point for the saga if you're interested in seeing it all."
