Anecdotes:

John Williams had actually written two themes for the film. He played them both for Steven Spielberg on the piano and Spielberg loved them so much, he suggested that Williams use both of them. He did and the result was the famous "Raiders March," performed by Star Wars (1977)'s London Symphony Orchestra (who did not perform in any more Indiana Jones films). The March has become one of the most popular movie themes of all time.

Goofs:

"I don't know...I'm making this up as I go."

A leading candidate for the best adventure movie of all time. Harrison Ford plays Indiana Jones, a professor of archaeology and treasure hunter who is hired by the United States government in the 1930's to find and retrieve the mythical "Ark of the Covenant" before the Nazis do.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" offers an almost non-stop variety of thrills and is able to sustain itself for its entire 116-minute running time. There's so much to make note of here - the flawless cast, the flashy special effects, the incredible sets, the efficient pacing of the film, the memorable scenes like the chamber full of snakes and the truck chase, etc. I won't go into great detail in describing it but suffice it to say that if you enjoy adventure movies you're advised to catch this 1980's blockbuster *at least* once. It's a great dose of escapist fun that still entertains almost thirty years later. This was one of my favorite movies growing up and is still a favorite today. It certainly made the combination of a fedora and a whip quite iconic.

Followed by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", the TV series "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

Conceived by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg (official story credit goes to Lucas and Philip Kaufman) and scripted by Lawrence Kasdan.
