Action/Adventure Epic ‧ PG ‧ 1 h 55 m ‧ 1981

The May free Classic Movie Night at the Odeon features the 1981 blockbuster, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, the film earned nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won four.

The first film in the popular “Indiana Jones” series, the film is set in 1936 when archaeologist Indiana Jones is tasked by Army Intelligence to help locate a legendary ancient power, the Ark of the Covenant, before the Nazis get it first.

“Raiders of the Lost Ark” is included on the American Film Institute’s “Greatest Movies of All Time” list. In 1999, it was added to the National Film Registry, a film preservation program established by the U.S. Library of Congress that selects films of cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.
