The year is An archeology professor named Indiana Jones is venturing in the jungles of South America searching for a golden statue. Unfortunately, he sets off a deadly trap but miraculously escapes.

Then, Jones hears from a museum curator named Marcus Brody about a biblical artifact called The Ark of the Covenant, which can hold the key to human existence. Jones has to venture to vast places such as Nepal and Egypt to find this artifact.

However, he will have to fight his enemy Rene Belloq and a band of Nazis in order to reach it. Did you know Edit. Trivia When Brody first goes to Indy's house to discuss the mission, Jones is dressed the way he is because he is entertaining a young woman in his bedroom.

The script originally planned to show her before moving to the next scene, to give Indy a more worldly persona like James Bond.

However, her appearance was cut, as Steven Spielberg thought that being a playboy did not fit Indy's character. For example:.

View All Critic Reviews Feb 23, Everyone has that movie that traumatized them as a child but didn't really affect anyone else. It's the snakes really that did it, and godamn that snake scene near the end is still difficult for me to watch. Beyond that though, it's a shame it took me so long to give this film another look, because it's really a perfect adventure film.

Not an action film though there is action in it but an adventure film. That's a genre we don't really see a lot anymore, and it's a real shame. There is such a spirit of fun and adventure to this whole movie that, besides the snakes, it's a real joy to watch.

It's also got a great sense of tension. During the opening scene with Indy's famous escape from the temple and the giant boulder, I was genuinely tensed up and worried for him. Think about that, that's crazy. I've seen this movie before and know he survives, it's only 15 minutes in the movie so logically he'd have to survive, and he's got sequels with an older Indy so he must survive. There's no reason why I should be tense and worried, but I was so caught up in the moment that I genuinely was.

It's moments like that which show why Spielberg is a masterful director. Other than the snakes, my gripes with the film are minor. I didn't love the female lead, and despite many scenes of her being tough and confident there were still some damsel and distress scenes that were kind of annoying, but that's really a nitpick and kind of fits with the overall tone and style the movie was going for.

So despite my childhood trauma, it's really a great film, practically perfect. But those snakes…I just can't get past them. X of Y Official trailer. Did we miss something on diversity?
