Review: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Quintessential fantasy explorer adventure sees action-archaeologist, Indiana Jones, on the trail of the ark of the covenant.  It's a beautifully constructed blockbuster which taps into the 1930s serials with regular cliffhangers, evil Nazis and Egyptian mythology.

Ford is well cast as a brainy everyman hero - not too beautiful or heavily muscled - and brings a weary seen-it-all before wit when dealing with the various obstacles he encounters.

Verdict: Perfect adventure movie.
