Harrison Ford once again plays Indiana Jones, who sets out to rescue his father who has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” Executive producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg have outdone themselves with another “Indiana Jones” sequel. They went to six countries to film this outstanding movie, including Venice, Italy, Utah, Jordan, Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Sean Connery was an excellent choice to play Indy’s father, as his persona and talents lent not only his dramatic abilities to the movie but also his sense of humor. Co-stars include Denholm Elliot, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Julian Glover, and Michael Byrne. The watchable “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” was the highest grossing film of 1989 for Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Pictures.
It was nominated for three Academy Awards, winning one for Best Sound Editing. The two non-winners were Best Original Score (John Williams) and Best Sound. Two sequels followed with “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (2008) and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (2023).
