You bring up something Lee. What do Back to the Future and Indiana Jones have in common? No, not just Steven Spielberg. In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (no, not my favorite), Indy escapes into the Nevada desert only to find a deserted town filled with mannequins and life at a stand-still. There's a warning siren and he realizes he's on a nuclear test range. He escapes oblivion by climbing into a refrigerator just before the bomb goes off. Our hero escapes death. I guess Steven Spielberg had to use the refrigerator trick somewhere! There's supposed to be a 5th movie in the works. I hope it's better than the 4th.
