Hidden for 2000 years… one man challenges the desert, the Nazis and destiny to uncover a treasure no man has ever seen – and lived to tell about!
Film Synopsis
The Ark of the Sun God (1984) follows a professional safecracker hired to journey to Istanbul and infiltrate a hidden temple to seize a legendary scepter once owned by the god Gilgamesh. As rival treasure hunters and cultists converge in a deadly race through desert ruins and booby-trapped tombs, tension builds between fortune and survival. This action-adventure blends exotic peril and pulp thrills in a rugged study of greed and discovery.
