Film description

A gigantic pinball game in which the role of the ball is played by Indiana Jones, a dashing archeologist with the tanned face of Harrison Ford, and the role of the board is played by the entire world, particularly its most exotic and most dangerous recesses. The route: through air, land, and water into catacombs inhabited by snakes and spiders and into the steely embrace of his mortal enemies. The goal: the Ark of the Covenant, which is hidden somewhere near Cairo and which Adolf Hitler wants to use as a weapon of mass destruction. The result: New Adventure Cinema in a nutshell and one of the most profitable films of all time. To achieve this stunning success, Steven Spielberg gathered dozens of clichés from film genres, exaggerated them, and then put them in motion. One fantastic idea follows another, and the action is so fast that the laws of physics no longer apply. Slapstick gags smoothly erupt into violence, and eruptions of violence transition smoothly into slapstick gags. And the wild ride continues.
