Like Star Wars, George Lucas's Indiana Jones trilogy not only entertains children but also inspires nostalgic affection for a lost phenomenon. This is the complete collection of the thrilling blockbuster series. With its episodic structure and characters' fates becoming increasingly uncertain every ten minutes, the Indiana Jones films utilize the same highly effective formula Lucas employed with Star Wars: modernizing old but beloved story templates. Directed by Steven Spielberg, all three films are set in the late 1930s and early 1940s. From the comic-book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark to the quirky, Gunga Din-inspired Temple of Doom to the cautious yet enjoyable Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, fans and critics alike tend to disagree on the order of their favorite films. While some people find the second film too violent and unpopular, Temple of Doom devotees believe it to being arguably the most original and emotionally impactful of the trilogy. One thing is certain: Harrison Ford's dashing, powerful, and controlled performance worked like a charm, and his whip-crack became an iconic action shot etched in the memory after The Lost Ark. The supporting cast also became an integral part of the series: Karen Allen, Sean Connery (who played Indy's father), Kate Capshaw, Ki Huy Quan, Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliott, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies. Though many years have passed since the last film (a sequel is in the works), a new generation of moviegoers will likely enjoy what their predecessors countless times as classic Hollywood classics and beloved B-movies.
