Ford ‘unafraid’ in Kingdom of Critical Knives

INDIANA JONES survived his first perilous outing in the Kingdom of Critical Knives yesterday, winning a comfortable round of applause at a press preview at Cannes as well as mixed reviews.

The world premiere of the fourth and latest installment in the adventure series, and the first in 19 years — Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull — was the hottest ticket at this year’s Cannes film festival.

Set in the late 1950s of the Cold War era, the two-hour movie sees its swashbuckling archeologist hero racing against Soviet agents to recover a mysterious pre-Colombian skull in the wilds of Peru.
