The cinematic classic that started it all -Raiders of the Lost Ark -has been meticulously restored under the supervision of director Steven Spielberg and sound designer Ben Burtt. Additionally, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade have both been remastered alongside 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull making this landmark release the first time all four films in the epic and award-winning franchise have been available together in sparkling high definition.

Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures Blu-ray

In addition to all of Indy's thrilling adventures, the set includes seven hours of fascinating documentaries, featurettes and interviews with cast members and filmmakers. This comprehensive collection of behind-the-scenes bonus features is augmented by a brand new two-part documentary entitled "On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark - From Jungle to Desert and From Adventure to Legend." Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, these captivating pieces transports fans back to where the legend began.

Raiders of the Lost Ark has been painstakingly restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired. The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt's original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director's vision.

    I wonder if the first three Indiana Jones movies will be released on Blu-ray individually, but on the same day that the complete adventures pack is released. Does anyone know if they will be released individually also, on the same day as the complete adventurs pack?

    @ghostman I'll believe it when they are dead and even then I would question it.

    @thedude1 They're not going to make another sequel. Both George Lucas and Harrison ford said so.

    @SpaceCowboy Yeah that does suck. I own all four films individually on bare bones DVD.

    The Complete Adventures? So what happens when they make another sequel in a few years? Do we get another box set titled "The Complete Adventures Part 2: You Got Screwed"?

    Yep... exactly what I was afraid of. None of the extras from the Crystal Skull Blu-ray or the 2008 trilogy release have been recycled onto this set. But at least all the special features from the first release of the Indiana Jones trilogy on DVD (ya' know, the one with the bonus disc) are included. So... that's a plus. Still going to buy this. However, I will be holding onto my "Complete Adventure" DVD box set.
