The Ark in the movie was the Ark of the Covenant (the gilded gopher wood box built by Moses on the instructions of God); as such it contained the fragments of the original tablets of the Law, a jar of manna and Aaron's rod.

In the film sinister Nazi archaeologists (based very slightly on the SS Ahenenrbe) are attempting to locate the Ark (stolen in this version of the legend by the Egyptians) so that they can use its power to win battles for Hitler.
