1936
- When his old friend Marcus Brody & the US Government discover a Nazi excavation in Egypt, they pay a visit to Dr. Indiana Jones to find out what the Nazis seek. Indiana Jones quickly realizes that the Nazis, aided by Indy"s old rival Rene Belloq, have discovered the ancient city of Tanis, which holds a Map Room revealing the location of the Well of the Souls
- the resting place for the Ark of the Covenant. Said to house the Ten Commandments & grant incredible power to the one who can open it, the Ark would allow the Nazis to destroy vast stretches of the world.
To find the Ark before the Nazis, Indy must retrieve the medallion headpiece of the Staff of Ra from his old girlfriend Marion Ravenwood, unaware that Nazi agent Toht is following close behind. The two men cross path in a fiery brawl that leaves one side of the medallion"s carvings burned into Toht"s palm, the medallion safe with Marion. Traveling to Egypt, Marion & Indy seek the help of Indy"s old friend Sallah, while Belloq attempts to read Toht"s injury as a map to the Ark.
After translating the medallion"s carvings, Indiana Jones enters the Map Room & places the medallion atop the Staff of Ra. Positioning the staff, Indy waits for sunrise, & as the first rays shine through the medallion"s jeweled center & onto the model city of Tanis that lays over the Map Room floor, a beam of light pinpoints the Ark"s resting place within the Well of the Souls. One step ahead of the Nazis, Indy & Sallah begin excavating the well & uncover the Ark with the Nazi"s close on their tail.
