Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett accused of being “capitalist puppets”

Indiana JonesIndiana Jones stars Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett have been accused of being “capitalist puppets” by Leaders of a Russian Communist Party.


The Communist Party of St. Petersburg say the actors promote crude, anti-Soviet propaganda in their new film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; and have urged Russia’s movie-going public to boycott the film and told Ford, 65, not to visit the country.


Crystal Skull, directed by Steven Spielberg, is the fourth movie in the lucrative movie franchise that began in 1981. It’s set in the Cold War in 1957 and pits Indiana Jones against a sinister KGB agent, played by Blanchett, who leads a ruthless team of Soviet spies in the hunt for a skull endowed with mystical powers.
