Fan CastingThe Jones Chronicles - Raiders of the Lost Ark.

the story begins with dr. indiana jones's journey into the south american jungle with a group of porters to find the golden idol of fertility within the temple of the chachapoyan warriors. jones avoids various traps, the betrayal of his two guides, barranca and satipo, and a giant rolling boulder that chases him out of the temple. waiting for him outside is his nemesis, french archaeologist rené belloq, and a small army of hovitos natives. belloq steals the idol from jones, who barely escapes in a pontoon plane piloted by jock lindsey waiting nearby. back at the school where jones teaches, two us army intelligence men meet with the archaeologist in the auditorium along with museum curator marcus brody, a good friend of indy who has brought the washington men to see him. the pair explain that the us has intercepted a cryptic nazi message that mentions a professor abner ravenwood being under the scrutiny of german intelligence. indy, a former student of ravenwood, helps interpret the message as an indication that the nazis are close to finding the ark of the covenant — a golden and jeweled chest constructed under the guidance of god and moses that housed the remnants of the tablets of the ten commandments. legends imply that adolf hitler could use the ark to render his rising army invincible.
