'Raiders of the Lost Ark': Why the Truck Chase Is Still the Franchise's Best Action Scene
Forty years after its release, Raiders of the Lost Ark remains a two-hour-long masterclass in how to stage an action sequence. However, even in a movie full of punishing fistfights, thrilling shoot-outs, and daring escapes, there’s still one scene that stands above the rest: the truck chase. A perfect blend of stunt work, editing, performances, and music, the truck chase set a bar that every Indiana Jones sequel – heck, that every action movie, period – has been trying to reach ever since.
'Raiders' Truck Chase Is the Pinnacle of Indy Action Smash cut to Indy on horseback galloping after the convoy and we’re off. The next seven minutes are about as flawless as cinema can get, as Indy boards the truck, dispatches the passenger and driver, and then fends off the rest of the convoy as it attacks from all sides.
The Chase Is Emblematic of What the Indiana Jones Series Does Best The truck chase sequence serves not just as an exemplary slice of action cinema but also as a mission statement for both the movie and the entire Indiana Jones franchise. Indy is a character who never stops moving forward, relentless in his pursuit of whatever fortune and glory he’s chasing in that particular installment.
