Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is summoned from his ivy-covered environs to the National Museum of Washington, where Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) asks Indy to secure the Staff of Ra. The Nazis, it seems, need this staff to throw light on the location of the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, which the mystical-minded Hitler hopes to use to make his storm troopers invisible. The Staff of Ra was under the protection of Indy's old friend Abner Ravenwood, whose daughter Marion (Karen Allen) evidently has a "history" with Jones. Whatever their personal differences, Indy and Marion become partners in one action-packed adventure after another, ranging from wandering the snake pits of the Well of Souls to surviving the pyrotechnic unearthing of the sacred Ark.
