Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
1989
***½
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Alison Doody, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, John Rhys-Davies, Michael Byrne, Kevork Malikyan, Robert Eddison
The third movie jumps forward to 1938. Indiana Jones learns that his father has disappeared somewhere in Europe while looking for the Holy Grail. The Nazis and some of the supporting characters from Raiders of the Lost Ark return, and Sean Connery as Professor Henry Jones is a welcome addition to the cast. This is probably the funniest one in the franchise, but its action set pieces are beginning to feel a bit mechanical. Followed by Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 19 years later.
