RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Paramount, 8:00 p.m. ET
Next summer, this George Lucas-Lawrence Kasdan-Steven Spielberg collaboration will be 40 years old. Let that sink in. But for now, revel in the Friday night TV availability of this 1981 salute to cinematic adventure serials. Harrison Ford stars as Indiana Jones – a role, and a franchise, that he, Lucas, Spielberg and company are planning to revive next year. Many films are described as “nonstop fun.” Raiders of the Lost Ark really is.
