Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Steven Spielberg
Genres: Action, Adventure
Rating:
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 (1984). After a brief brouhaha involving a precious vial and a wild ride down a raging Himalyan river, Indy (Harrison_Ford) 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 a dimbulbed, easily frightened nightclub chanteuse (Kate_Capshaw), and a feisty 12-year-old kid named Short Round (Quan_Ke_Huy). Throughout, the plot takes second place to the thrills, which include a harrowing rollercoaster ride in an abandoned mineshaft and Indy's rescue of the heroine from a ritual sacrifice. There are also a couple of cute references to Raiders of the Lost Ark, notably a funny variation of Indy's shooting of the Sherpa warrior. Hal Erickson, Rovi
