Film Forum Jr.: ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’

This series from Film Forum, intended to introduce children to classic movies, is opening its fall season with a bang — or maybe we should say the crack of a whip. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), Steven Spielberg’s action extravaganza, stars Harrison Ford as the coolest archaeology professor ever: Indiana Jones, who puts aside academia to take up his boots, his trusty hat and his whip in pursuit of the Lost Ark of the Covenant, which the Nazis are also after.
