Double Goal

Indiana’s real goal is established in the beginning when he is visited by Army Intelligence officers. Their visit introduces Indy’s goal for the whole movie which is to obtain the Ark of the Covenant. More specifically, Indy needs to find the Ark before Belloq-the bad guy to prevent Hitler from getting it, and killing people with it.

Unfortunately, while they are in Cairo, Marion is kidnapped by the Nazis. Now this sets up Indy’s secondary goal; to save Marion. This goal changes form throughout the movie, however it is continuous for the majority of the movie.
