Paramount Pictures Presents, a Lucasfilm Ltd. Production. A Steven Spielburg Film.
Story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. Screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Harrison Ford, John Rhys-Davies and Denholm Elliott return for the third film.
It is the year 1938. This time Dr. Indiana Jones must go to Venice, Italy in search of The Holy Grail and the chalice that Jesus drank from during The Last Supper around 1905 years ago.
Why Indy? Well, the last archeologist had all the information of The Holy Grail they needed, however he is missing. It is Indiana Jones father, Henry (Sean Connery).
River Phoenix plays "Indiana Jones" at 15. This segment inspired a tv series "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" (1992-93) in which Harrison Ford as "Indiana Jones" in 1950 made a special appearance in the episode, "Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues".

The knight was played by Robert Eddison. The temple actually exists in Petra, Jordan. The outside of the temple was not a special effect. They were actually there. However, the inside of the temple was filmed from a studio.

Karen Allen and John Ryes-Davies reunited for the television special "The Making of Indiana Jones Adventure". The Disneyland attraction ride opened March 3, 1995.

All VHS and DVD editions of the Indiana Jones films are collectible.

Film won the Academy Award for Sound Effects Editing and nominated for Original Score.
Harrison Ford and Karen Allen will return!
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" will be released May 22, 2008.

Recaptures that Raiders magic
It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.

Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.

Once again we start out with a young Jones trying to save an artifact from pillagers. This lets us know of his heroic energy and introduces his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and his obsession with the Holy Grail, even to the exclusion of his relationship with Junior.

Now grown Dr. Indiana Jones gives a class and explains that Archeology is a pretty strait forward science and not some search for legends. He receives a mysterious piece of post.

He is then approached by group of rich people that are in search of the Grail. It turns out that their top researcher has disappeared. Yep it is Professor Henry Jones. What can Indiana do but go looking for his father. He is accounted by his best friend who runs a museum Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliottt) as they team up with the last person to see his father Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody.) He gets a final warning "Do not trust anybody."

Will he find his father?
If he dies what will they have to talk about?
Does the Grail really exist?
Who are the mysterious people following him?

One of my favorite scenes is where Dr. Jones disguised in a German uniform bumps into Hitler (Michael Sheard of Star Wars fame).

Have fun watching this great film with the banter between Hennery and Junior. And remember "do not trust anybody."
