Synopsis

Crazed Nazis, sword-waving Egyptians and a pit of slithering poisonous snakes are some of the colourful characters that famed archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones encounters in his quest to find the Ark of the Convenant, said to contain the holy Ten Commandments. Set in the 1930s, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a breath-taking adventure packed with eye-popping special effects and gut-busting comedy, courtesy of Indy and his trusty companions.
