One of my favourite franchises ever made is the Indiana Jones series. From the first moment Indiana Jones was introduced in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I became a fan. A lover of all the films within the series, there is a special place in my heart for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. We learn about Indiana’s father, who is obsessed with the Holy Grail, beginning with an introduction to Indiana's childhood. This obsession does not change as his father grows older, and eventually, Indiana is required to come to his father’s rescue. Using all the research and notes from his father’s journal, Indiana (Harrison Ford) must decipher clues to find his father and, hopefully, discover the Holy Grail itself. Brilliantly paced and well-constructed, we are given wonderful introductions to each character. Throughout the film, each character is given depth through creative scripting, allowing us to be told and shown more of who they are. The chemistry between Indiana and his father (Sean Connery) is also a big highlight. Bouncing off each other with witty dialogue as they battle together against each other and the new enemy, I personally enjoyed every moment whenever the two are on screen. The visuals are amazing, and various locations scattered across the world create a palette full of vibrant colours. Each location only adds to the story, and the historical emphasis culminates in a touching and excellent finale at the beautiful and mysterious Petra. The soundtrack by John Williams is, as always, excellent and unforgettable. Filled with tremendous acting, story, visuals and soundtrack, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a film movie lovers must watch today and perhaps do yourself a favour and buy the boxset on 4K when it is released to celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary!
