The second of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg INDIANA JONES epics is set a year or so before the events in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy gets down to the problem at hand: retrieving a precious gem and several kidnapped young boys on behalf of a remote East Indian village. His companions this time around include an easily frightened nightclub chanteuse and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round. The thrilling adventure includes a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy’s rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice.
