Raiders of the lost ark

In the 1930's, an American archaeologist and explorer is assigned by the U.S. Government to find the mystically empowered Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can obtain it for their own evil purposes.

Indiana Jones braves an ancient booby-trapped temple in Peru and retrieves a golden idol. He is confronted by rival archaeologist René Belloq and the indigenous Hovito people. Jones deduces that the Nazis are searching for the Ark of the Covenant. The Staff of Ra is the key to finding the Well of Souls, a secret chamber in which the Ark is buried.
