RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) appears on both of AFI’s lists of the greatest American films of all time – the original list as well as the 10th anniversary edition. It ranks #10 among the most heart-pounding screen adventures – and Indiana Jones himself was named by AFI as the second greatest screen hero of all time. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK also boasts contributions by no fewer than four AFI Life Achievement Award recipients – director Steven Spielberg, producer George Lucas, star Harrison Ford and composer John Williams – as well as an early credit for AFI Board of Trustees Chair Kathleen Kennedy.
