Raiders of the Lost Ark
55Watch it awake.
He finds the Ark, and the honest ending is that he does not keep it.
The review
The picture people quote is the whip and the chase. He is a professor hired to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis, and the set pieces are why it still comes up at dinner. I am not going to turn a good chase into a sermon.
Stay for the warehouse. The Ark is not a weapon he gets to keep. Men crate it and lose it. A holy object leaves the hero's hands and the army's hands. Kids will copy the whip. Tell them the crate is the part the story believes.

The glance
Household and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Willow
68 instead of 55
Willow is still a adventure film, and it scores 68 instead of 55. What you gain is household: The whole plot is a household willing to expand by one.
The eight
- 8Industry
A professor takes a real hire: find the Ark before the Nazis reach it.

The Ark is holy, and neither the professor nor the Nazis are allowed to use it.
- 7Courage
He goes in against an army for a box he has been told not to treat as a gun.
- 6Republic
The hire is a duty: keep a holy object away from an army that wants it.
- 4Temperance
Each stunt invites the next one, right up until the prize is taken away.
- 6Truth
They hire him to find it, then crate the Ark and misplace it in a warehouse.
- 4Stewardship
What remains is a crate in a warehouse, not a people given back what was holy.
