The classic Spielberg movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, is to be shown at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh with live music played by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
The performance initiates a new three year partnership between the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the orchestra (RSNO).
Marking 36 years since the Indiana Jones drama was released, the event will take place on June 24, with tickets going on sale on Thursday this week.
The show is part of EIFF’s 2017 programme, falling on the first Saturday of the festival.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones as the adventurous archaeologist.
Mark Adams, artistic director of the EIFF, said: "We are delighted to continue and build on our relationship with the RSNO for this wonderful film and music collaboration.
"Indiana Jones is undoubtedly one of cinema’s greatest heroes and it will be exciting to see this wonderful, rollercoaster adventure up on the big screen accompanied by the RSNO’s orchestra."
Dr Krishna Thiagarajan, chief executive of the RSNO, said: "It makes absolute sense for us to continue and strengthen our association with the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
"From the phenomenal success of our first EIFF performance two years ago with Back to the Future we knew we were on to something special.
"The RSNO has pedigree in the field of music for films, recording and performing numerous soundtracks over the years, and to lend our expertise to one of the world’s notable celebrations of contemporary and classic cinema whilst broadening the audience for live orchestral music presents a most complementary cultural partnership."
EIFF will celebrate its 70th Anniversary Year in 2017, and says it is the "longest continually running film festival in the world." This year it runs from 21 June to 2 July.
