Indiana Jones

Directed: George Lucas and Steven Spielberg
Genre: Action / Adventure.
Cast: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, Alison Doody, River Phoenix etc.
Plot: Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., also called Indy, is a fictional professor, archaeologist, and adventurer who is the main protagonist of the 1981 adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark and its prequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and sequel, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).
Also at the time women were represented as passive characters with no real importance in action films. Their purpose was to look good and to be saved by the male protagonist. This proves Laura Mulvey’s point of the male gaze and how women have the quality to be looked-at-ness. Nowadays things have changed and this is proved with movies such as Resident Evil Extinction. It shows has society has changed and become less patriarchal.
