Review by Lewis Brian (posted on 17-Jun-2007)

This is the first of the Indiana Jones films. It all starts when Indiana Jones (Harison Ford) is hired by the US Army on search of the Ark of the Covenant. But he encounters on a journey much longer than he expected. First he has to go to Nepal and talk to Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) about the Ark of the Covenant. Then he goes to Egypt and meets with his friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) but struggles to find the Ark. There are many dangers obout such as the Nazis lead by Rene Belloq (Paul Freeman), Arnold Toht (Ronald Lacey) and Colonel Dietrich (Wolf Kahler). They are also on a mission to get the Ark before Indy. This is a great movie for those action lovers out there. A superb film to be watched with pleasure and joy.
