The beginning of a special relationship between Lucas and Spielberg...

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2017)

When George Lucas, the director of Star Wars and American graffiti, teamed up with Steven Spielberg, who created Jaws and Close Encounters, to make the most popular movie of the first year of the Reagan era, the result is classic. Sure, younger people might be bored by the slow moving pace, but be fascinated by the special effects and action scenes which were ahead of its time when it first came out 36 years ago. The success of this film spawned a prequel, Temple of Doom, and two sequels, The Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. A fifth one is in development and will come out by the end of the decade.
