Ancient Temple Hallway
Cut-Off Hallway
Indy bursts from this narrow cut-off hallway into the inclined passage at the boulder chase's outset, then dives back through its tight exit as the massive stone seals the collapsing temple behind him. Choking dust fills the cramped stone confines amid thunderous impacts and flying debris, turning the space into a frantic refuge that underscores his solitary survival amid ancient ruin's wrath.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
Boulder Chase — Temple Sealed
The cut-off hallway is the point of egress where Indy begins the sprint; it functions as the tactical threshold between relative refuge and the lethal core of the temple’s trap, framing the instant the chase transitions from pursuit to escape.
Atmosphere
Briefly open then immediately claustrophobic as rumble and debris funnel sound and motion into the passage.
Functional Role
Launch point for the escape; last patch of comparative safety before the inclined passage.
Symbolic Significance
Represents the thin margin between safety and catastrophe—Indy’s last choice before consequences close behind.
Abrupt change from cut-off hallway to narrowing passage
Immediate presence of loud rumbling filling the confined space
