Paramount on Screen: Raiders of the Lost Ark [PG]

An epic tale in which an intrepid archaeologist tries to beat a band of Nazis to a unique religious relic which is central to their plans for world domination. Battling against a snake phobia and a vengeful ex-girlfriend, Indiana Jones is in constant peril, making hair’s-breadth escapes at every turn in this celebration of the innocent adventure movies of an earlier era.

Did you know?

• Freeze-framing during the Well of Souls scene, you can notice a golden pillar with a tiny engraving of R2-D2 and C-3PO from the Star Wars saga. They are also on the wall behind Indy when they first approach the Ark.
• Alfred Molina’s first credited screen role. His first scene on his first day of filming involved being covered with tarantulas.
• When Indy’s hat was made, the brim was shaped to cover his eyes for protection, and to help hide faces when stunt doubles were being used.
