Raiders of the Lost Ark [1981 film]

The movie starts with Indy finding a gold statue in Peru and having it taken from him by a French tomb raider. After he returns to teaching at college, he finds out that the Nazi's are looking for the Ark of the Covenant. He is sent to retrieve the artifact. His first stop is in Nepal to get the head piece to the Staff of Ra from an old flame, Marion. He gets the head piece and a travel buddy with Marion. From Nepal they went to Egypt. In Egypt Marion is killed and Indy finds the ark, which of course is taken away by the Nazi's. They do give him Marion back though. In the end, the Nazi's open the ark and die.

A great movie. I've always enjoyed this movie.

A treasure-hunter races the Nazis.

Pretty damn fun.
