Raiders Of The Lost Ark Quiz – Indiana Jones and the Ark

Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in 1981, directed by Steven Spielberg from a story by George Lucas. Harrison Ford stars as Indiana Jones, an archaeologist who races Nazi agents in 1936 to find the Ark of the Covenant.

The film opens with Indy grabbing a golden idol and fleeing a giant boulder. He teams up with Marion Ravenwood, who runs a bar in Nepal, and finds the Well of Souls filled with snakes in Egypt.
