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.

3.5/4

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.

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.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade remains my favorite in the franchise thanks to its central duo, strong action scenes, and compelling story.

5/5

...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...

I want to say that this movie is an absolute disappointment, but I can't. What I can say is that it sucked, in capital letters IT SUCKED!!! It was the worst acting, if you want to call what they did - acting, I have ever had the misfortune to witness! I love Sean Connery but this was a sad moment for him to degrade himself playing in this debauchery. Sorry but I am still upset for having sat through this whole thing.

From an impeccably-performed humane basis of a father-son adventure treading on relatability so naturally thanks to Sean Connery’s stellar inclusion, aside the circumstances delivering spectacular sequences and driven with a brilliant script that ascends what makes "Raiders" such a classic, of course not to mention the spirited music at equal crescendos, this is a trilogic, much polished conclusion that listened and improved with a solidifying triumph ranking this as the best of the trilogy – and maybe the most entertaining of the series.
