Raiders of the Lost Ark : "The creators of JAWS and STAR WARS now bring you the ultimate hero in the ultimate adventure". The classic first adventure of Indiana Jones, directed by Steven Spielberg, executive-produced by George Lucas. Starring Harrison Ford and Karen Allen"

Raiders of the Lost Ark (also known as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) is a 1981 action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by George Lucas and starring Harrison Ford. It is the first film in the Indiana Jones franchise, and pits Indiana Jones (played by Ford) against the Nazis, who search for the Ark of the Covenant, in an attempt to make their army invincible. The film co-starred Karen Allen as Indiana's former lover Marion Ravenwood; Paul Freeman as Indiana's nemesis, French archaeologist René Belloq; John Rhys-Davies as Indiana's sidekick, Sallah; and Denholm Elliott as Indiana's colleague, Marcus Brody.

The film originated with Lucas' desire to create a modern version of the serials of the 1930s and 1940s. Production was based at Elstree Studios, England, and filming also took place in La Rochelle, Tunisia, Hawaii, and California from June to September 1980.

Released on June 12, 1981, Raiders of the Lost Ark became the top grossing film of 1981;[2] it remains one of the highest-grossing movies ever made.[2] It was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, in 1982 and won five (Art Direction, Film Editing, Sound, Visual Effects, and Sound Effects Editing). The film's critical and popular success led to three additional films, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), as well as a television series: The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992-1996).

  • It's in IKEA...go to the warehouose and ull find plenty of them stacked up...different color Arks with weird names on them...

  • The very last shot of the warehouse with all the boxes is a matte painting. When you see the original copy there is just a blank white space so they can add in the guy walking with the cart. They did this a lot is Star wars for some of the shots of the inside Start Destroyer hangers filled with lines and lines of storm troopers.
