Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Action! If there’s one word associated with cinema, the tension of movie sets, and the focus of attention, it’s this one. Action is very often at the heart of popular cinema: Harold Lloyd hanging from the clock hands in Safety Last! (1923), Cary Grant threatened and strafed by a plane in North by Northwest (1959), Franka Potente gasping for air in Run Lola Run (1998)... Westerns, swashbuckler films, martial arts or adventure flicks, thrillers, all these genres rely on action—sometimes frenetic, sometimes meticulously measured.
From movies by Sergei Eisenstein to Gilles Carle, from John Ford to John Boorman and Werner Herzog, via Paul Verhoeven, Kathryn Bigelow, Park Chan-wook, Érik Canuel, and Nicolas Winding Refn, this series will take you through the full range of emotions, from laughter to thrills, from fear to satisfaction.
Winner of the Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects in 1985
Archaeologist Indiana Jones sets off on a new adventure to find a sacred stone imbued with mysterious powers. He is joined by Short Round, a clever young Chinese boy, and Willie Scott, a cabaret singer.
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg is an American director, producer, and screenwriter. A member of the New Hollywood generation of the 1970s, he began his career by directing episodes of television series and minor feature films for Universal Pictures. He gained public recognition with the TV movie Duel, which was a huge critical success and led him to direct the blockbuster Jaws (1975). The film's critical and commercial success launched his career. He continued to achieve both national and international successes with the science fiction films Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). In the 1980s, in collaboration with his friend George Lucas, he directed the first three installments of the fantasy adventure saga Indiana Jones (1981, 1984, 1989) before trying his hand at historical drama with The Color Purple (1985) and Empire of the Sun (1987). He achieved great acclaim in 1993 with Jurassic Park, his biggest commercial success, and Schindler's List, for which he won the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. He continued in the 2000s with more science fiction works and several historical epics. Spielberg is the highest-grossing filmmaker of all time, with his films having grossed over 10 billion US dollars.
