Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was a 1984 prequel
to the hugely successful action movieRaiders of the Lost Ark.
Like the first, it starred Harrison Ford as professor Indiana Jones,
was written by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. It is much darker in tone than its predecessor (a fact which Lucas attributes to the messy divorce he was going through during the film's production), and has been criticised for being overly violent and scary. However, there are still many moments of comedy and daring escapes.
