About The Making of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'
One of the first 'Making of...' movies to become a hit in its own right, this documentary treats movie fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Raiders of the Lost Ark, about the quest to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis. Included are interviews with stars Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, director Steven Spielberg and other members of the cast and crew who talk about the experience of making the film, as well as all of the effort that went into it.
Directed by Phillip Schuman, The Making of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' leans on a strong ensemble — Scott Beach, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1981.
