Review

Archeologist Indiana Jones gets a job to search for a lost ark of covenant before the Hitler and his men will find it. They are already searching it quite close where it is supposed to be but Indiana have more knowledge what others have missed so he still have time to find the ark before it goes to wrong hands.

I have seen this movie many times in my life since my childhood years, and I have always liked it. It have a great story around the biblical themes, it have slow paced moments where the characters and story is built and it had enough action what is well directed and acted.

Characters are interesting and they have personalities. Main characters are not described or explained too much, but as a viewer you can still easily create your own view about these persons.

This is a great movie even on 2024. It just works and it is the masterpiece of action adventure movies.
