INDIANA JONES and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

The legend of Indiana Jones starts here. Harrison Ford plays the hero as an adventurous archeologist. The movie begins with probably one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. Indy is on a quest for an ancient relic and must bypass several booby-traps as well as deal with his untrustworthy allies. After overcoming the impossible, Indy loses the relic to an adversary and is lucky to escape with his life. The story then builds up to a quest for the lost ark of the convenant. (The Ark that Moses put the stone tablets in which contained the ten commandments). In a race with the Nazis this is one thrilling ride and this Indy film as well as the rest are in my all time personal favourites.

Trivia:- The role of Indiana Jones was actually intended for Tom Selleck, but due to a contract with the series 'Magnum', Selleck had to pull out.

Trivia:- Indiana Jones was created by George Lucas, the man behind The Star Wars films.
