Legends Of The Lost Ark

EXCLUSIVE: Myriad Pictures has brokered a US deal on AFM sales title Legends Of The Lost Ark, Stephen Pettit’s adventure documentary about the Ark of the Covenant.

Gesher Media and Fathom Entertainment plan a 2026 theatrical release for the feature that follows archaeologist Chris McKinny as he investigates three theories about the final resting place of the Ark.

The fabled wooden chest is referenced in the Bible and said to contain the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, a pot of manna, and Aaron’s rod, the walking stick used by Moses’s brother that was believed to be imbued with supernatural powers. McKinny spent the last five years researching the film alongside Gesher Media,

Rebecca Pettit, Arran MacLennan, Rachel Pettit, and Nick Royak serve as producers, with Roy Brown and Douglas Johnson as executive producers.

McKinny said: “The lost Ark remains one of the most fascinating ancient mysteries. It is impossible to overstate the impact of the Ark’s disappearance on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. What happened to the Ark? Amazingly, there has been no detailed investigation of the most ancient legends of the lost Ark – until now.”

Myriad Pictures CEO Kirk D’Amico added: “We are enraptured by Chris McKinny’s informative and wide-reaching exploration of the legendary Lost Ark. Like a modern-day Indiana Jones Chris leads the audience on a well-researched journey through both the halls of academia and the terrain of the Holy Land in the modern day Middle Eastern countries to examine the Biblical and other references to the Lost Ark.”
