Cast: Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett
Dir.: Steven Spielberg
It was surprising to know that this otherwise trashy/fun movie was by Speilberg. But its free-wheeling indulgence of fantasy and the supernatural was pure fun. Incidentally though, this unbelievable movie also sends cliche of message: that human court risk and self-destruction in pursuing in god-like knowledge and power. But you'll like it if you are willing momentarily to suspend disbelief. Here's the IMDB summary copy-pasted for ready reference:
"During the Cold War, Soviet agents watch Professor Henry Jones when a young man brings him a coded message from an aged, demented colleague, Henry Oxley. Led by the brilliant Irina Spalko, the Soviets tail Jones and the young man, Mutt, to Peru. With Oxley's code, they find a legendary skull made of a single piece of quartz. If Jones can deliver the skull to its rightful place, all may be well; but if Irina takes it to its origin, she'll gain powers that could endanger the West. Aging professor and young buck join forces with a woman from Jones's past to face the dangers of the jungle, Russia, and the supernatural."
