"The quest for the Grail is not archaeology; it's a race against evil! If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth! Do you understand me?" – Dr. Henry Jones

Why watch this? It really IS almost as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)!

Plot Summary: Archaeologist Indiana Jones learns that his estranged father, Professor Henry Jones Sr., has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail. Indy follows clues in his father's Grail diary and teams up with Dr. Elsa Schneider, unaware of her true motives. They eventually face off against the Nazis (again), who are also determined to find the Grail for Hitler's own sinister purposes.

Dad's Preview: Spielberg and Lucas return to familiar territory to give us this wonderful third Indy film. Back are loyal sidekicks Sallah and Marcus Brody, and we're again battling those pesky Nazis. Our archeologists are searching for another biblical artifact, but first they must find Indy's father, portrayed wonderfully by Sir Sean Connery. He puts Indy in his place more than once. Once father and son are reunited, the film follows a tricky path towards the holy grail, filled with action and double-crosses. It's so nice to see these seasoned actors together on screen having such a good time.
