Obviously Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were the main creative figures behind this film. However there were a number of top line professionals that made this film a success.
The cinematographer Douglas Slocombe had been working in films since the 1940's. His very impressive list of films included, The Man in the White Suit, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Lion in Winter, the first three Indiana Jones films, and 2nd unit on Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Apparently Slocombe barely used a light meter when he was shooting.
2nd unit director Mickey Moore had been staging action scenes in films like Patton, Gunfight of the OK Corral, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Man Who Would Be King, and the first three Indiana Jones films as well. This guy worked into his 80's.
Spielberg's long time editor Michael Kahn had started out editing Hogan's Heroes and had worked on a number of blackploitation films which included Truck Turner, Black Belt Jones, and The Spook Who Sat by the Door. He's still working with Spielberg at age 80.
115 minutes.
