George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, two masters, began working together as early as the early 80s.
After Making Star Wars in 1977, Lucas released a sequel to The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, successfully opening the 42-year-old classic IP.
At the same time, his other big IP, the originator of the tomb robbery adventure theme, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, is also in the pipeline.
Finding a suitable director is a prerequisite for starting a series of films.
Lucas found Spielberg, who was making a splash in Hollywood for Jaws and Contact Of the Third, and the two hit it off, and Spielberg became the sole director of the four installments in the Raiders of the Lost Ark series.
The original name of the film was actually "Indiana Jones", and the subtitles of the quadrilogy were "Magic Chest", "Magic Raiders", "Jihad Raiders" and "Crystal Skull Kingdom", which were translated into "Raiders of the Lost Ark" after introduction, which is also relatively easy to understand.
Directed By: Steven Spielberg Writers: Lawrence Cassdan / George Lucas / Philip Kaufmann Starring: Harrison Ford / Karen Alain / Paul Freeman / John Reese-Davis Genre: Action / Adventure Country of Production: United States Languages: English / German / Hebrew / Spanish / Arabic / Nepali Release: 1981-06-12 (USA) Runtime: 115 minutes
Although Lucas disagreed at first, Spielberg eventually dug up Star Wars male number one Harrison Ford to play indiana Jones.
In the movie, Jones is a university professor during World War II, but also an explorer, handsome, or highly educated, and not short of money, it is simply loved.
But teaching at the university was only his interest, and his real job was to travel all over the world to explore monuments and dig graves and treasures.
After class, Jones' friend Marcos Buñodi approached him to meet a military intelligence officer who claimed their organization in Europe had intercepted a document sent from Cairo to Berlin.
Documents show that an archaeological excavation team in Nazi Germany, with the help of Jones' university teacher, Professor Ravenwood, was working on a Tanis project to search for the lost city of Tanis in the desert outside Cairo.
Legend has it that Tanis City is a place where the lost Ark of Law is preserved.
The Lost Ark is the Ark of the Bible, which is said in the Bible to move mountains and destroy every place it passes, and the army that possesses it will be invincible.
Now that the ark is hidden in a secret burial chamber in Tanis City called the Soul Well, Jones knows that the search for the Ark requires finding a Scepter of Thunder and bringing it to a special map room in Tanis City, where the refracted light can indicate the exact location of the Soul Well when the sun shines on the bronze medallion on the head of the staff.
Jones needs to find the Ark before the Nazis, and he embarks on the road to find the Ark, the first stop is Nepal, but he does not know that he has been followed by the German Nazis.
In Nepal, Jones found Marianne Ravenwood, who runs the bar, the daughter of Professor Ravenwood, and the bronze medal is in her hand.
At this time, the Germans also tracked down here, trying to snatch the bronze medal, and Jones and Marianne joined forces to repel the Germans.
Jones gets the medal, Marianne asks to take her to the Cabinet, and Jones has to go with her on the road.
Jones and Marianne arrive in Cairo, and Jones finds Sarah, the excavator, to help.
Known as "the best excavator in Egypt", Sarah is a good and well-connected person and a good partner for Jones.
Sarah told Jones that the Germans were active in Cairo, that they had hired all the local excavation teams, and that three days earlier they had dug up the map room that could indicate the exact location of the Soul Well. The French archaeologist René Belloc was Jones's old rival, also among this group of Germans.
The Germans soon learned that Jones and Marianne were in Cairo, and they hired a group of locals to try to capture them in order to get the bronze medal, and Jones and Marianne were forced to fight the group on the street.
This fast-acting shot can often be seen in WeChat emojis, and it is said that this scene was originally designed to let Fu Bo use a whip to fight with a knife man to fight three hundred before winning or losing.
But Forber was sick at the time, unable to complete so many actions, so he proposed to shoot him directly and put him down, which is why the knife man is so tragic.
After a great battle, Marianne was grabbed by two Cairoites and sent to a large truck full of weapons, which then overturned and exploded.
Jones thought Marianne had taken the bento, but she wasn't dead, but was captured by the Germans.
Jones and Sarah found a local old man in Cairo who had come up with the exact height of the scepter by analyzing the text on the bronze medallion.
With the Height Data to restore the Scepter, Jones and Sarah secretly descend to the Map Room and use the Scepter of Thunder they made to get the exact address of the Well of Souls.
According to the address shown on the map, with Sarah's help, Jones found the Well of Souls, and the two went down to the well and saw that it was full of snakes, which was very dangerous.
The most exciting shot is when Jones is confronted with a cobra, and the distance between his head and the cobra is less than half a meter, which feels extremely dangerous. In fact, there was a glass between Forber and the cobra during the shooting, and it is said that the cobra was frightened at that time and really spewed out venom, but fortunately there was a glass in the middle, otherwise Forber would have been caught.
Jones sprayed gasoline on the ground and lit a fire, driving the snake away, and finally got the Ark with Sarah.
However, Jones's whereabouts are discovered by Belloc, who surrounds the wellhead with a group of German soldiers, takes control of Sarah, and snatches the Ark from Jones.
Belloc pushed Marianne into the well again, trapping her in the well with Jones.
Jones and Marianne both have protagonist auras, and certainly won't be so quick to pick up the bento.
They knocked down the statue of Abnus in the well, and the statue knocked through the stone wall of the well, and Jones and Marianne escaped.
In order to prevent the German Nazis from transporting the Ark with a plane, Jones blew up the German plane with a plan.
The Germans used the car to transport the cabinet away, and Jones caught up with the car, fought the Germans, and snatched the cabinet from them.
It is worth mentioning that the scene of being dragged by a car was completed by Faube himself, and he also suffered serious ribs as a result.
Sarah helps Jones contact a ship bound for the United States, and Jones and Marianne board the ship with the Ark of Law and want to ship the Ark of Law back to the United States.
Unexpectedly, Belloc and the Germans actually sent a submarine to intercept the ship in the sea, and they took Marianne and got the ark.
In order to test the power of the relics in the Ark, Belloc landed with the Germans on an uninhabited desert island.
Jones secretly infiltrated the submarine and followed him to the desert island, he wanted to blow up the cabinet and scatter it, but Belloc persuaded him to witness the opening of the cabinet, jones was moved, and put down the rocket cannon in his hand.
In the evening, the Germans built a simple altar, and after Belloc recited some incantations, the ark was opened, but inside it was only sand.
While everyone was suspicious, the generator at the scene exploded, and then the law cabinet overturned the river and the sea, and some ghosts flew out. Ghosts weave through the crowd, and Jones whispers to Marianne to close her eyes and not to open them no matter what happens.
Fire erupted from the Ark, burning both Belloc and the Germans present, and Jones and Marianne both closed their eyes and escaped.
In the end, Jones brought the Ark back to the United States and handed it over to the U.S. government, but the stupid officials did not understand the value of the Ark, which made Jones very unhappy. But Jones wasn't without gains, he was with Marianne.
Of course, the story is not like this, after the release of the film box office, and won the 54th Academy Awards Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Best Art Direction and Special Achievement Awards five awards, the results are gratifying, so the sequel shooting is also very fast.
Spielberg released the sequel "Magic Soldier" in 1984, and the third episode "Holy War Soldier" in 1989, and made a trilogy in 9 years, which became the benchmark for tomb robbery movies.
Jackie Chan's "Flying Eagle Project", Hollywood's later "Mummy" series, "Tomb Raider" series, and "National Treasure" series were all influenced by it.
Indiana Jones of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Han Solo of Star Wars have also become two of Forber's most important classic characters.
He himself seems to prefer Jones, and after Han Solo received the bento in Star Wars Episode VII, although he is now 77 years old, he is still quite enthusiastic about continuing to participate in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 5".
It is rumored that the new sequel has been scheduled for July 9, 2021, but there is no news of filming yet, but as a big IP that has affected a generation, when this film is released, the box office of the title alone is estimated to be worth 1 billion, and Pigo is very much looking forward to it.
Finally, with a little bit of film-related knowledge, the Raiders of the Lost Ark series launched a TV series in 1992 called The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones.
This TV series has only 1 season, a total of 28 episodes, the length of a single episode is 45 minutes, but in the launch of the disc is to put every two episodes into one episode, so now the Internet can find 12 episodes, Pig also because of the collection to know, netizens should pay attention to when collecting.
In the history of World War II, the German Nazis did search for the holy relics of biblical legends.
The supreme leader of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, was a man obsessed with mysticism, and he once supported a German writer named Otto Larne in search of the fabled Holy Grail.
Otto, who wrote the Crusader in Search of the Holy Grail and Lucifer's Garden: A Pagan Journey in The Footsteps of Lucifer, was confident about finding the Grail, but after spending a lot of money, he ended up with nothing.
Himmler eventually lost trust in him and assigned him to the Dachau concentration camp as a garrison officer.
Unable to bear the Nazi atrocities of the abuse of Jews, Otto finally committed suicide on the night of March 12, 1939, on the night of March 12, 1939.
