INDIANA JONES 4 – A MONEY SPINNER FROM A TALE SPINNER



It has been nineteen years since, Harrison Ford captivated and mesmerized audience worldwide as the lead role in Indiana Jones, an action adventure. Two decades hence, he is back again to reclaim his niche in tinsel town. Harrison Ford enjoys every inch of the screen space that he gets in Indian Jones 4 – The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. With Steven Spielberg at the helm, the movie is bound to keep the audience tied down.

The last Indiana Jones movie saw the world at the verge of destruction caught in the turmoil of war in 1938. Jones had to battle against all odds, to acquire the Holy Grail. Now Ford is back as Jones and he is his same old self, all set to take his fans by storm. His personality, character and of course his whip are all still intact. Once again, the world is in trouble under the omnipresent nuclear threat Jones is once again on the job, trying to preserve a mysterious object from falling into the wrong hands.

Harrison Ford fits into the role, like bees drawn to honey, in his previous movies and one expects it to be no different this time around. One cannot imagine an Indiana Jones movie without Ford at the helm. Sharing screen space with him are Ray Winstone, Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf. George Lucas seems to have spun an intriguing web around viewers yet again.

The movie has been raking in massive numbers at the box office in the US. Within the first five days of release Indy Jones 4 has grossed around $ 151 million U.S. dollars in North America. The action flick is all set to hit the screens in the sub continent this week.
