An archaeologist races the Nazis to the Ark of the Covenant.
Sinekatalog’s take
A pulp adventure with a genuinely clever action rhythm. Spielberg and Lucas honour the old serials, and Harrison Ford's improvising, rumpled Indy made a hero for the era.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
