À propos de ce film

The third installment in the widely beloved Spielberg/Lucas Indiana Jones saga begins with an introduction to a younger Indy (played by the late River Phoenix), who, through a fast-paced prologue, gives the audience insight into the roots of his taste for adventure, fear of snakes, and dogged determination to take historical artifacts out of the hands of bad guys and into the museums in which they belong. A grown-up Indy (Harrison Ford) reveals himself shortly afterward in a familiar classroom scene, teaching archeology to a disproportionate number of starry-eyed female college students in 1938. Once again, however, Mr. Jones is drawn away from his day job after an art collector (Julian Glover) approaches him with a proposition to find the much sought after Holy Grail. Circumstances reveal that there was another avid archeologist in search of the famed cup — Indiana Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery) — who had recently disappeared during his efforts. The junior and senior members of the Jones family find themselves in a series of tough situations in locales ranging from Venice to the most treacherous spots in the Middle East. Complicating the situation further is the presence of Elsa (Alison Doody), a beautiful and intelligent woman with one fatal flaw: she's an undercover Nazi agent. The search for the grail is a dangerous quest, and its discovery may prove fatal to those who seek it for personal gain. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade earned a then record-breaking $50 million in its first week of release.

Notes et avis

My favoritest of the bunch! Connery and Ford are fantastic together, and the late River Phoenix was ideal as the boy Indy. It's great to know Indiana Jones' back story. It's a rollercoaster of a ride with literal cliffhangers and plenty of laughs along the way! I winced at the use of real animals in the movie but these movies are from way back when most of us, including me, didn't know that it's wrong to enslave and exploit animals at all. Hopefully, future movies can avoid such things. Might purchase the first two at some point too or maybe just rent 'em (let's not acknowledge the existence of the 4th one...). Highly recommend this one though! :D

I've had the same 'not in UK' message appear to me in the past. Come out of GooglePlay, switch off phone then on again & I was able to purchase movie I wanted. Good luck! GREAT MOVIE!

I'm still not a fan of Indiana Jones, dur to the fact that the films don't connect with each other, but this film is defi8 the best Indy film. ☺
