Storyline

Africa, December 1916. Despite disobeying orders, Indy is promoted to Captain after capturing a German machine gun. He is then ordered to cross the jungle with Remy and Captain Boucher to pick up a shipment of weaponry. Along the way his Ubangan Sgt, Barthelemy picks up the sole surviving child from a disease ridden village despite Boucher's orders against it. On the way back, Indy and company succumb to disease themselves, and are picked up by Albert Schweitzer and the orderlies from his jungle hospital. At first resistant to being treated by a German, Indy soon begins to realize that Schweitzer is not interested in war, only attempting to cure people against all odds.

Wheres the spirit?

Actually, it isnt bad. Its just not Indiana Jones. For some reason when I saw the video, it lacked the touch of the movies. But it is okay if you really want to see an Indy movie, but know the old ones by heart. Just remember: it is a boiled down affair.
