Fearless, dashing archeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is given a mission from the United States to recover the fabled Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis seize it and use its magical power to turn the tide of the war. Whip in hand, Indy must outwit the Nazis, cheat death in a snake pit and, most fearsome of all, get back in touch with his old flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen). But the Nazis already have the lead in the race for the Ark, with an excavation site in Cairo already under control. If Indy can’t stop them, it could spell doom for the world as we know it.
