<p>Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future<em> and </em>Apollo 13<em> are among our nominees for all-time best use of measurements in a film … but that won’t stop us at NIST from nitpicking some of the details.</em></p><hr><p>Many critics and movie fans alike name 1981’s <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em> as one of the best films of all time. But watching the movie as a 12-year-old, I didn’t realize that it has what some consider to be a major flaw, pointed out in a <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3221722/">2013 episode</a> of <em>The Big Bang Theory.</em> As the argument goes, Indiana Jones, the main character, made no difference in the outcome of the film. With or without him, the movie would play out the same: The Nazis would have found the Ark of the Covenant and opened it, triggering their demise. </p><p>While Indy’s effect on the plot has now become the subject of endless internet debate (what hasn’t?), I can still hold onto one fact as a proud NIST employee. <em>Measurements</em> play a key role in the plot — with one inaccurate measurement nearly killing Indy.</p><p>I’m talking about the scene at the start of the film in Peru, where Indy enters a temple laced with ancient mechanical traps. Indy wants to steal a prized golden idol sitting on a pedestal at the center of the temple. But he knows that taking the idol is likely going to activate a deadly trap.</p><p>When he reaches the pedestal, Indy takes out a small bag of sand, eyeballs it in relation to the idol and dumps some grains from his bag. He grabs the idol and immediately places the bag on the pedestal. At first, it looks like the swap worked, and Indy smiles in pleasant surprise. But a moment later, the bag of sand sinks the pedestal, causing the temple to self-destruct. Indy runs for his life.</p><p>I’ve never seen a better illustration of the importance of accurate mass measurements, which can indeed have life-and-death consequences in the real world. Accurate mass measurements enable patients to receive the <a href="/si-redefinition/kilogram-disseminating-new-kilogram" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="2640533a-33fd-40ca-89e0-6bcdfd58edd4" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="Kilogram: Disseminating the New Kilogram">right amount of medicine</a> and help engineers design jet turbines and rocket engines that produce <a href="/how-do-you-measure-it/how-do-you-measure-thrust-rocket-engine" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="3f637914-b62b-464a-a81c-130ddf3ce9b8" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="How Do You Measure the Thrust of a Rocket Engine?">adequate thrust</a> to deliver passengers and payloads. I think the makers of <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em> inadvertently created one of the most entertaining ways to deliver this point home to the general public. Milligrams (and sometimes even nanograms) matter!</p> <figure class=" align-center nist-image" role="group">

<p>Later in the movie, measurements play an even more critical role in the plot, as Indy and the Nazis vie to find the legendary Ark of the Covenant. To do this, Indy obtains the headpiece to the Staff of Ra from co-adventurer Marion Ravenwood. By taking the staff to an archaeological dig site in Egypt, and placing it in an ancient map room, he hopes to see sunlight pass through a gem in the center of the headpiece and point to the exact location of the ark. However, the staff itself is missing. The headpiece indicates that the height needs to be 5 kadams, an ancient measurement unit. Indy’s collaborator Sallah estimates each kadam is about 12 inches (about 30 centimeters). They create a staff with a height of 5 kadams (presumably 60 inches) and place the headpiece on it. </p><p>This leads to a measurement goof that’s hard to explain away, even in the fantastical world of the movie. Indy is shown holding the staff, and he appears to be roughly 80% of the staff’s height. But if the staff is a height of 5 kadams (60 inches, about 1.5 meters), that would indicate that he shrunk to about 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall! (Unless they corrected their error in a deleted scene — one can only dream of a NIST Director’s cut of the movie!)</p><p>You probably never want to see another movie with us by now, but I hasten to add that the Staff of Ra scene serves the storytelling perfectly. It shows how the protagonists’ care for measurement and accurate interpretation of ancient writing provides the correct answer. What better message could there be for budding scientists?</p> <figure class=" align-center nist-image" role="group">

<p>In case you were wondering, the kadam (also spelled as “qadam”) is indeed an ancient measurement unit that was used in South Asia and the Middle East. NIST research librarian Keith Martin told me the word translates as “to walk” or a “footstep” or a “foot,” with a wide range of values corresponding to these different meanings, and it even evolved in some places to mean the distance covered in many hours of walking. “Ah, the fun times before standardization,” Keith said.</p><h2>Back to the Future</h2><p>Of course, <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em> is not the only movie that uses measurement in its plot. 1985’s <em>Back to the Future</em> is where many of us (including my 16-year-old self) first heard the word “gigawatt” (which means a billion watts). According to Doc Brown, 1.21 gigawatts was the amount of power that he needed to deliver to his juiced-up DeLorean sports car to travel through time, at a speed of 88 miles per hour. Of course, these are made-up numbers, but they communicate to the audience that exact measurements — determined through mathematical calculations and scientific and engineering considerations — are often used to perform impressive tasks. Doc Brown reinforces the idea that science is powerful and cool.</p><h2>Moneyball </h2><p>In the film <em>Moneyball</em> (2011), baseball general manager Billy Beane relies on statistics based on exhaustive measurements of baseball players’ performance. Beane uses this information to make key decisions on which players to add to the roster and what to do in critical game situations. </p><p>Based on a true story, the film (and book of the same name) shows the major influence of statistician Bill James, whose field of sabermetrics (based on the acronym for the Society for American Baseball Research, or SABR) has revolutionized the game. </p><p>What amazes me is how well baseball fans know and understand these often-intricate statistics, whether it’s WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched) or wOBA (weighted on-base average). I think the movie helped communicate the power of measurements to help sports teams succeed.</p><h2>Apollo 13</h2>

<p>Measurements play a critical role in <em>Apollo 13</em> — both in the movie and in real life. Based on the ill-fated 1970 Moon mission, the 1994 film tells the story of astronauts trying to safely get back to Earth after an electrical explosion causes their spacecraft to lose its oxygen supply. </p><p>Bereft of oxygen, the astronauts are exhaling carbon dioxide — with the buildup of CO<sub>2</sub> threatening to poison and kill the crew. Keeping track of the cabin’s CO<sub>2</sub> levels helped the crew and mission control to figure out how much time they had to improvise a solution to their problem — and provided suspense for movie viewers as the astronauts raced against time ultimately to return to Earth. (Some cross-movie trivia: <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/katherine-g-johnson/">Katherine Johnson</a>, one of the real-life mathematicians portrayed in <em>Hidden Figures,</em> did work that helped the Apollo 13 crew navigate back to our planet!)</p><h2>Star Wars</h2><p>In the original 1977 <em>Star Wars</em> movie, Han Solo brags that his ship, the Millennium Falcon, is so good that “it made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs!” The problem is that the parsec is not a measurement of time but distance. To find out how this initially problematic measurement was resolved in the Star Wars universe, check out my earlier blog post on <a href="/blogs/taking-measure/noggin-butt-quirky-measurement-units-throughout-human-history" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="7aa4223b-df8e-4e26-8834-d24963524c65" data-entity-substitution="canonical" title="From the Noggin to the Butt: Quirky Measurement Units Throughout Human History">quirky measurement units</a>. </p><h2>Oppenheimer</h2>

<p>Some people have asked me about 2023’s <em>Oppenheimer.</em> </p><p>I’d say that the movie mainly showcases calculations, which are a little different from measurements. To make a measurement, you use a technique or tool such as a tape measure to directly determine the value of a property such as the height of a door. </p><p>A calculation uses formulas or other mathematical tools to obtain values of the quantity of interest, such as the amount of energy in a nuclear detonation. (There are lots of important calculations in many movies — such as <em>Hidden Figures</em> and <em>The Martian</em> — and that could be a great sequel for this blog post!) </p><p>Calculations often use measurements but are a little different from measurements themselves. Perhaps the closest thing to a measurement in <em>Oppenheimer</em> was a fictional addition — Oppenheimer adding marbles to a bowl throughout the film to represent measurements of how much uranium had been refined at the various Manhattan Project facilities across the U.S. </p><div class="nist-callout"><p>So there you have it — our nominees for best use of measurements in movies. Can you name any other movies in which measurement is an important part of the plot? Which movie do you think should be the winner? Let us know in the comments! </p></div>

Even as a kid, I didn't quite get how the light entering the room becomes laser-like when traveling through the headpiece. But paradoxically, it's this magical quality of the light that helps me suspend disbelief better, as it reminds me this is clearly make-believe instead of something I should try to figure out scientifically!</p>

<div class="text-long"><p>One very important measurement in "The Dam Busters" is the altitude of the plane as it approaches the dam. This had to be exactly 60 feet above the water for the bouncing bomb to work properly, but at such a low altitude the altimeter of the Lancaster bomber wasn't accurate.</p>
|
||
<p>The solution was to mount two spotlights underneath the plane, angled so that when it was at the right altitude the spots would overlap.</p>
|
||
<p>All of this happened in real life. The only thing about the measurement that the movie changed is that Wing Commander Gibson didn't come up with the idea after seeing spotlights on the singer at a West End musical- it was something that other RAF units had tried earlier.</p>

Thanks for the references to ways measurement plays a critical role in major movies - I'll be pointing those out to people I know - I already talk about NIST a lot - this just gives me more interesting opportunities to bring up NIST! ;-)</p>

<div class="text-long"><p>There is a film from the 80's called 'Spinal Tap' about a fictitious rock band. In one scene they want a giant replica of Stonehenge to drop on to the stage. The band's manager makes a simple hand-drawn sketch for the artist that's going to create the prop but he uses the wrong symbol and instead of getting an 18' replica, they get one that's only 18" tall.</p>
