Title: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Product review: America entered a conservative period after the Iranian hostage crisis. Ronald Reagan became president, and Raiders was the big movie. It is a throwback to the serials and politics of 1936. Harrison Ford is archaeologist Indiana Jones. The Jones character is a fedora-wearing, bull whip-slinging, adventurer who fights Nazis while traveling the world in search of ancient treasures. The Ark is the chest which held the Ten Commandments. The Nazis want it because legend has it that any army which possesses it will be invincible. Indy's droll instincts save the movie. Shooting the sword-wielding Arab was unexpected. The close calls and narrow escapes are numbing.
