In May 1977, George Lucas and his friend Steven Spielberg
were discussing movies they would enjoy directing. Spielberg
named serials and James Bond adventures, and Lucas responded
by telling his story of Indiana Jones, an archaeologist-
adventurer whose search for a sacred treasure leads
him around the world.
Three years later, on June 23rd 1980, Spielberg began
directing that film at La Rochelle, France. Over the
next 14 weeks, the adventure story took Spielberg, the
actors and crew to four countries for location and studio
filming - and, in the elaborate and painstakingly accurate
sets for the film, through several other exotic locations
as well.
