"INDY IV"
FROM THE PARAMOUNT LOGO
MATCH DISSOLVE TO:
A mound of sand which resembles the Paramount Logos mountain
peak. On the mounds summit, a CHILDS BRONZE-SKINNED HAND sets
down a crudely fashioned toy ship.
WIDE - A DESERT WASTELAND CAMP
3 BEDOUIN TEENAGERS are performing before a small audience made up
of BEDOUIN YOUNGSTERS: the first teenager, a boy, is imitating an
elephant; the second teenager, a girl, is pretending she is a
lion; and the third teenager, a boy again, is acting like a
donkey. There is CLAPPING and LAUGHTER as the teens parade around
the waist high sand pile making SOUNDS akin to their particular
animal. MAIN TITLES BEGIN.
EXT. NORTHWESTERN SHORE OF THE DEAD SEA - WIDE PANORAMA - DAY
Heat-rippled air is distorting far off figures: BEDOUIN SHEPHERDS
who steer their herd of rams leisurely along the rocky shore.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. ROCKY SHORE - DAY
Set against the Judaean rust colored hills, THE SHEPHERDS, 3, keep
the herd moving steadily along. The train of rams is kicking up a
veil of dust as their hooves CLACK intermittently on the loose
rocks and stones.
AT THE REAR, shepherd #3, a bronze-skinned BEDOUIN BOY, uses his
goad to urge an unruly ram back into the procession. The BOY
grows impatient as the animal refuses to cooperate.
AT THE FRONT, shepherds #1 and #2, THE ELDERS, have themselves a
big laugh at the boys expense.
The resentful BOY whacks the RAMS DERRIERE with his goad! The
startled animal BLEATS NOISILY and takes off running. THE ELDERS
SWEAR at the boy in ARABIC and order him to chase after the ram.
EXT. ARID WATERCOURSE/CANYON - ESTABLISHING SHOT - DAY
A HIGH VANTAGE POINT shows us the steep rocky cliffs which form a
U around the dry-bed watercourse. The runaway ram has made the
mistake of entering what amounts to a dead end canyon.
EXT. CANYON - FURTHER IN
The runaway ram scampers past. The BOY is not far behind, kicking
up sand and pebbles as he chases after the ram.
EXT. CANYON - DEAD END
The BOY comes shooting around a bend and finds the ram pacing back
and forth, cornered by the canyons dead end.
The BOY slowly approaches the jittery beast.
Now the BOY is within pouncing distance; he gets ready to leap.
He does -- at which point the tricky ram side-steps and
THE BOY LANDS FACE FIRST IN THE DIRT!
The BOY spits out sand as he gets to his feet.
Now the BOY grows uneasy at the sight of the ram charging up the
rear cliff face, taking the steep grade in leaps and bounds; then
the BOY is alarmed as the animal vanishes from sight behind the
jagged rocks high above.
EXT. HIGH UP ON THE CLIFF - NARROW LEDGE - DAY
The BOY POPS UP from behind the ledge, out of breath. Immediately
his eyes widen.
The BOY works himself up onto the narrow ledge --
AND MARVELS AT THE BLACK OPENING TO A CAVERN.
The BOY looks high and low but doesnt see the ram anywhere. Now
come the rams ECHOING BLEATS, deep within the darkness of the
cavern.
The BOY, nervous, steps in closer to the opening -- the gaping
dark mouth doesnt look very inviting. The BOY picks up a lose
stone and chucks it hard and deep into the shadowy maw.
To the BOYS amazement return the distant shattering SOUNDS of
pottery!
INT. JUST INSIDE THE CAVERN
IT IS DARK. The BOY fishes out his trusty Zippo lighter from a
leather shoulder pouch and flicks it to life. The weak orange
light shallowly penetrates the dark.
INT. BACK WALL OF CAVERN - JUST AFTER
The BOY eases his way along, holding the Zippo like a torch. The
flickering light shines on the ram ... it is squatting serenely on
the rear floor of the cavern. The animal is strangely unfazed by
the BOYS appearance.
Now the Zippos light shines on --
A COLLECTION OF DUSTY CLAY JARS. All 12 of the jars are intact
except for one which is broken open.
The stone the BOY fired into the cavern minutes ago lies among the
shattered pieces.
The BOY crouches down to the smashed open jar and, captivated,
gently pulls out --
