Movie Poster Textual Analysis

The poster connotes an exciting, adventurous feel for the film. The focal point being the main character, who if you don't know you would guess to be Indiana Jones, appears rough, quite man-ish, strong and is holding a whip which insinuates an exciting film.

Continuing along the theme of action and adventure the background/setting is composed of a firey skull, some scary looking caves and and tribal style pattern in the foreground, adding to the adventurous feel for the film and supposing that it might be scary at some points too?

The firey light illuminates from behind the figure which makes him the center of attention and emphasizes the scary/adventure theme to the film.

His non-verbal communication is tough, ready for action and leading - in the way that he's going to be leading the other characters in the film.
