Directed by Steven Spielberg, this action-adventure movie introduced audiences to the might of Harrison Ford, who coolly and charmingly portrayed an archaeologist trying to recover the lost Ark of the Covenant before other sinister forces. The movie was a smash hit and spawned a franchise. The pop culture phenomena grossed $245 million.
