10 Best Steven Spielberg Films

What if Han Solo was an archaeologist? That is the question that the very first Indiana Jones film asks.

Harrison Ford plays Indiana Jones, a daring adventurer who gets caught up in a Nazi plot to steal the Ark of the Covenant, a religious artifact they hope will turn the tide of the Second World War in the Nazi’s favour. In steps Indy to thwart their plans and steal the Ark for himself.

This regularly places highly on lists of greatest ever action films and rightfully so. The fight scenes, the scenes where Indy is avoiding traps and the action set pieces are fantastically well put together. Couple that with, yet again, well rounded characters and a leading man played perfectly by Ford and you have a solid action flick.

And no, it’s not cool to point out that Indiana Jones has no effect on the plot. You just look bitter.
