"Indiana Jones--the new hero from the creators of JAWS and STAR WARS."
Renowned archeologist Dr. Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. Government to find the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to still hold the ten commandments. Their search takes them to the archaeological site of Tanis in Egypt where the Ark is presumably buried. Unfortunately, agents of Hitler are also after the Ark and make the quest pretty miserable for Indy and his old flame Marion.
