After discovering the priceless Alliance Chest in Raiders of the Lost Ark and freeing Sankara’s children in The Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones sets off in search of a new lost treasure, and a not-so-important one.
Following in the footsteps of his father Henry Jones, who devoted most of his life to finding the Holy Grail and who mysteriously disappeared, Indy in turn sets out to find the precious object. But he quickly realizes that he’s far from the only one to launch this latest crusade.
The best Indiana Jones?
Having a night out with friends and one of you has never seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Look no further and get the privilege of rediscovering this fabulous sight through his eyes! Simply because it is one of the most effective adventure films ever made, and perhaps even the best part of the saga signed by Steven Spielberg.
Of course, the first opus, released in 1981, has the undeniable merit of bringing Indiana Jones into history, and of course the second marked an entire generation with its unforgettable scenes, but for many fans it is really the third that is the absolute reference. When we consider the adventures of a famous archaeologist.
34 years old… and not a wrinkle
Released in 1989, this 1989 feature film has barely aged over 34 years, combining the spirit of adventure, epic breath, humor and technical mastery of an exceptionally inspired Spielberg. With an excellent average of 4,378 out of 5 stars (making it the 13th best adventure film of all time on AlloCiné), it remains dear to our audience’s memory for many reasons.
For example, its thrilling opening sequence in the form of a flashback (where Indy is played by a young River Phoenix), its final act (and the three tests that will give the adventurer access to the Grail), its spectacular chase sequence with a chariot and a horse on a horse in the middle of the desert, and of course the delightful The alchemy that emerges from the relationship between Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his father (Sean Connery).
So, if you need a little inspiration for your movie session tonight, feel free to choose the Spielberg monument, whose place is still far from being in a museum.
