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.

What to Know

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.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 05/01/2023
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. Go to Full Review
Caryn James New York Times 05/01/2023
Of the three Jones films, The Last Crusade may well become the sentimental favorite, the Indiana to end them all. Go to Full Review
Harper Barnes St. Louis Post-Dispatch 05/01/2023
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. Go to Full Review

...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... Go to Full Review

andrew H @andrew512 1d i liked learning more about Indiana, the dad was kind of annoying and so was the nazi Elsa but since she died it was great, i didn't want an evil nazi ending up with the main character. See more Benjamin W. @Code70 5d A terrific conclusion to the original run of Indiana Jones films. Say what you will about 4 and 5, but the first three Indiana Jones’ makes up one of the better movie trilogies out there, and this was a great concluding chapter to that trilogy. The Last Crusade is a bit breezier and more lighthearted compared to the first two, especially Temple of Doom. Sometimes doing that can cheapen the impact, but here I think it really worked. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery have excellent father-son chemistry, and the adventure is just once again spectacularly entertaining. It’s a bit lighter on memorable set pieces compared to its predecessors, but it more than makes up for it with its fantastic climax, in which Indie races against time to retrieve the Holy Grail for the rescuing of his dying father. It’s a great threequel, and ended the trilogy in satisfying fashion. Really, the franchise as a whole should’ve ended here. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 6d James Bond Meets the Goonies. Blobbo turned off by Jones forcefully kissing Blond girl. How dare you! say Blonde. Then forcefully kiss him back. Values outdated by century. Femme Fatale lack charisma, too. Blobbo change channel. See more Samuel G @RT40782160 Apr 22 I might say that I saw the parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on AMC Network, with a scene Dr Jones Sr. asked Jr., "You called this archeology?" See more Ben W @Username618 Apr 18 Thoroughly enjoyed. See more Adam D. @biga488 Apr 16 This movie is in my top 5 of all time! Watched it again this week for the first time in a long time with my fiancé. It’s still sooooo good and holds up after all this time! I never realized how brilliant it was to cast Sean Connery as an old bumbling professor. All acting is outstanding in this film. “Genius of the restoration…” See more Read all reviews
