Our take on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Steven Spielberg's 1989 action-adventure sends Indiana Jones after the Holy Grail, and along the way turns the quest into a father-son story. In 1938, a collector asks the archaeologist to find the relic; Indy soon learns that the medieval historian who vanished searching for it is his own father, Dr. Henry Jones Sr. Following clues in the old man's notebook, he travels to Venice, joins forces with academic Dr. Elsa Schneider, Marcus Brody and Sallah, and races the Nazis to keep the power of eternal life from the wrong hands. Brisk, funny and rich with globe-trotting set pieces, it suits anyone who loves classic adventure with genuine warmth at its core.
