Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade (1989)

Adventure runs in the family, even if father and son can barely stand to be in the same room. Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," written by Jeffrey Boam, opens in 1912 Utah with a teenage Indy (River Phoenix) on one of his first adventures, revealing the origins of his hat, his whip and his fear of snakes. In 1938, the adult Indy (Harrison Ford) is approached by wealthy collector Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) about the search for the Holy Grail, the cup of Christ said to grant eternal life, and learns that his stern, scholarly father, Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery), a lifelong Grail expert, has vanished. Following clues in his father's diary, Indy and his loyal friend Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) head to Venice, where he teams up with the alluring Dr. Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) and explores rat-filled catacombs beneath the city. The trail leads to a castle in Austria, where Indy finds his father held captive by the Nazis, who are racing to find the Grail for themselves. Father and son bicker their way through a string of narrow escapes, including a brush with Adolf Hitler at a Nazi book burning, a zeppelin flight and a thrilling battle aboard a desert tank. It all leads, with help from their old friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies), to an ancient temple, filmed in Jordan's breathtaking city of Petra, where deadly trials guard the Grail. It won an Oscar for its sound effects editing.
