George Lucas and Steven Spielberg wanted to pay homage to the Saturday afternoon serials they grew up watching. The result was the biggest money-maker of the year and one of the best adventure movies ever made according to Ben Mankiewicz, Turner Classic Movies host.
We're right by Indiana Jones' side as the swashbuckling archaeologist, played by Harrison Ford, attempts to find the religious artifact the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis get it. (The Ark of the Covenant is a gold-covered wooden chest with lid cover described as containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.)
Karen Allen (who played Boone's love interest in "Animal House") played the ex-love interest and sparring partner Marion Ravenwood, still marvels at Indy saying he is "flawed and rarely in the right place at the right time, and the romance was hard won."
