EPIC TALES AND BLOCKBUSTER HITS

The Golden Era of Steven Spielberg

- Sandesh Bhosle

Woah, it was a period when the word “blockbuster” was synonymous with the name “Steven Spielberg.” Yes, I’m talking about the magical era of the ‘80s and ‘90s when Spielberg was the wizard behind the cinematic curtain, weaving spells of wonder and captivating the hearts of cinephiles worldwide. Even today, he’s as charismatic as he was back then, but the ‘80s and ‘90s were something else as the cinema was in the brewing stage. Let’s embark on a nostalgia-filled journey to the Golden Era of Steven Spielberg!

THE INDIANA JONES ADVENTURES — THE QUEST FOR THE SPIELBERG TEMPLE 

Remember that fedora-wearing, whip-cracking archaeologist with a penchant for getting into trouble? Indiana Jones was his name, and Spielberg was his mastermind. The ‘80s and ‘90s brought us not one, not two, but three epic Indiana Jones adventures. From escaping rolling boulders to dodging snakes, from traversing the Temple of Doom to hunting for the Holy Grail, Indy was the hero we all wanted to be. The swashbuckling Spielberg-George Lucas duo made archaeology cool, and Harrison Ford’s rugged charm made fedoras a must have fashion statement.
