An art collector appeals to Jones to embark on a search for the Holy Grail. He learns that another archaeologist has disappeared while searching for the precious goblet, and the missing man is his own father, Dr. Henry Jones. The artifact is much harder to find than they expected, and its powers are too much for those impure in heart.

Critics Consensus

Lighter and more comedic than its predecessor, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade returns the series to the brisk serial adventure of Raiders, while adding a dynamite double act between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

As I watched it, I felt a real delight, because recent Hollywood escapist movies have become too jaded and cynical, and they have lost the feeling that you can stumble over astounding adventures just by going on a hike with your Scout troop.

Rated: 3.5/4

Of the three Jones films, The Last Crusade may well become the sentimental favorite, the Indiana to end them all.

You suspect this movie Is going to be a great deal of fun from the very beginning, when River Phoenix, as the young Indiana Jones, snatches a jeweled cross from grave robbers and flees with it.

...a rightfully beloved film, a classic story of humble, heroic virtues against moronic, hive-mind evil…Among the action-set-pieces and last-minute rescues, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade ingeniously has its cake and eats it when it comes to belief...

Rated: 5/5

If you were to ask me, "what is your favorite film of all-time?," I'd say that it is this without hesitation. This movie sparked my passion for filmmaking, ignited my sense of adventure, and cemented my love of Indiana Jones forever. I have one full-size movie poster on my office wall, and it is of this film!

The Last Crusade is a much needed course correction from the film they came before it. This one brings back the charm and humor from Raiders of the Lost Ark and has another incredible cast to bring us along on the adventure. The addition of Sean Connery alone makes this film better than Temple of Doom. The Last Crusade shows us Indy as a kid as well as the present day, which was a nice touch. The final scene of the film is beautifully shot and was symbolic at the time, as the final chapter in this trilogy.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
