Desert Roadside Boulder Gap
Gap Between Tall Boulders
Two tall boulders flank a narrow gap along the sun-scorched desert road, their bulk shielding Indiana Jones as he bursts forth on horseback to charge the Nazi truck. Gunfire snaps from the pursuing staff car while dust kicks up from hooves and tires. This rocky cover turns into a launch point for his vault onto the cab, kicking aside the brake and slamming the accelerator to seize control amid the escalating mountain chase.
