The TVI Take
Spielberg and Lucas's adventure template follows archaeologist Indiana Jones through exotic locations and Nazi opposition in pursuit of biblical relics. The film's exuberant pastiche of 1930s adventure serials provides entertainment through action spectacle and romantic charm, while the mythology surrounding ancient artifacts adds intellectual intrigue to the straightforward heroic quest.
