Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, first released in the USA on May 23, 1984, was a prequel to the hugely successful action movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Like the first, it starred Harrison Ford as professor Indiana Jones, was written by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. It is much darker in tone than its predecessor (a fact which Lucas attributes to the messy divorce he was going through during the film's production), and has been criticised for being overly violent and scary. When making the sequel, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Spielberg was even reported to have apologized for the poor quality of Temple of Doom.
Other actors included Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan (Vietnamese boy, also in The Goonies, ), and Dan Aykroyd (cameo). Indiana Jones artist, Drew Struzan created the film's distinctive artwork.
The film is generally credited with the later introduction of the PG-13 rating (along with Gremlins).
