RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE MOVIE BACKSTORY
About this episode
The movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was the highest grossing movie of 1981 and ensuring lasting stardom for Harrison Ford and Debra Allen. The plot, centered in the 1930's, featured an archeology professor from the US vying against Hitler's agents to recover the Lost Ark of the Covenant, which the Germans believed had power they could harness for war. In this story we cover the true story of the German quest to prove Aryan supremacy by searching the world for archeological proof of their superiority as well as the challenges faced by the movie actors and production staff-challenges which included working with thousands of poisonous snakes and in extreme temperatures.
