Raiders of the Lost Ark is a 1981 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced byGeorge Lucas, and starring Harrison Ford. It is the first film in the Indiana Jones franchise. It sets Indiana Jones against a group of Nazis who are searching for the Ark that Hitler believes will make his army invincible. The film originated with Lucas' desire to create a modern version of the serials of the 1930s and 1940s. It became the year's top-grossing film of 1981 and remains one of the highest-grossing films ever made. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 1982, including Best Picture, and won four (Best ArtDirection, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Visual Effects).
夺宝奇兵是一部上映于1981年的美国动作探险电影，导演斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格，制片乔治·卢卡斯，主演哈里森·福特。这是印第安纳琼斯系列电影的第一部。电影讲述的是印第安纳琼斯博士与一群纳粹作斗争的故事，他们正在寻找“失落的约柜”，希特勒认为这能够使他的部队战无不胜。电影来源于卢卡斯的一种想法，他想把20世纪30-40年代的系列电影拍成现代版。影片成为了1981年最叫座的电影，并仍然保持着最高票房的记录。1982年，夺宝奇兵获得了八项奥斯卡提名，包括最佳电影奖的提名，并赢得了四项大奖，包括最佳艺术指导、最佳电影剪辑、最佳声效、最佳视觉效果。
The film's critical and popular success led to three additional films - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). There was also a television series, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992–1996), and over 15 video games. Critic Bruce Williamson said: "There's more excitement in the first ten minutes of Raiders than any movie I have seen all year." The New York Times' Vincent Canby praised the film, calling it, "oneof the most [amazingly] funny, ingenious and stylish American adventure movies ever made." "Entertainment Weekly" said Indiana Jones was its third favourite action hero ever.
这部电影所得到的好评和成功让这部影片又产生了三部续集：夺宝奇兵2（1984），夺宝奇兵3（1989），夺宝奇兵4（2008）。夺宝奇兵系列电影还出了电视剧，名叫“少年印地安纳琼斯大冒险”（1992-1996），以及超过15种电脑游戏。影评人布鲁斯·威廉姆斯说：“就全年来说，夺宝奇兵电影的头10分钟是我见过的最精彩的电影”。纽约时报的文森特·坎拜也称赞了这部影片，说夺宝奇兵是美国史上最有趣、最独特的探险电影。“娱乐周刊”说印第安纳琼斯是史上第三大动作英雄。
