An adventurer named Rick Spears, who travels with his fiancée in Turkey. Here he is given the task of stealing something from the safe of a fashionable mansion, and forAntonio Margheriti is no doubt a talented and versatile director. Under his belt films of almost all genres. Not only that, he manages to combine most of them in just one film! Margueriti always put creative independence above all else, which is why he often turned down very tempting commercial projects because of possible professional restrictions, because he liked to personally control the filmmaking process, from the director and the script to the choice of costumes and hairstyles. The Ark of the Sun God is just such a movie. Margheriti has managed to weave many more ‘pigtails’ into the action-adventure movie cannon. This is a very unremarkable plot about ‘all seen’ Gilgamesh, which can safely be attributed to science fiction. And rather funny, almost caricatured car ‘catch-up’. And the magnificent views of the ‘karst cities’ against a backdrop of almost lunar enchanting landscapes.
The film itself is rather simple and unpretentious, though it contains everything for the adventurer genre: an antiquity-lover (in our case ‘safecracker’ Rick Spears (David Warbeck), his faithful girlfriend Carol, rich cunning collector Lord Dean and, of course, the one who wants the treasure much more than the ‘good guys’ – Arab prince Abdullah. At times the action looks interesting, at times – funny, at times – naive. There is no particular suspense, because in movies like this much is predictable, minus the specific details that in the case of Margheriti look funny (for example, the pirate-like skeletons pointing in the right direction to the treasure). And the ending in the vein of ‘don’t touch that, or the whole place will collapse! However, such a warning has not yet kept any adventurer. So it will be this time…then we learn that this is how he was tested by order of a wealthy British lord, who subsequently hires Rick to search for the lost Temple of the Sun God in the Turkish desert. This temple contains a lot of gold and an ancient sacred artifact that the Lord wants so badly. But this artifact is being hunted by another group of men, led by the Arab prince Abdullah. Now they will compete in agility and even try to bring each other down, for they know that only one man is destined to get the riches.
