Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Strong Contender Wins well above average
1989 · Adventure, Action · Steven Spielberg

There's a difference between a film audiences like and one that wins brackets. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade does both — 59% across 56 head-to-head matchups. The warmest Indiana Jones, winning on chemistry more than spectacle: Sean Connery, cast as the hero's father, turns a globe-trotting treasure hunt into a bickering family road trip. That central relationship is an unusual thing to carry into a bracket, an adventure people reach for as much for its heart as for its stunts.

Synopsis

In 1938, an art collector appeals to eminent archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones to embark on a search for the Holy Grail. Indy learns that a medieval historian has vanished while searching for it, and the missing man is his own father, Dr. Henry Jones Sr.. He sets out to rescue his father by following clues in the old man's notebook, which his father had mailed to him before he went missing. Indy arrives in Venice, where he enlists the help of a beautiful academic, Dr. Elsa Schneider, along with Marcus Brody and Sallah. Together they must stop the Nazis from recovering the power of eternal life and taking over the world!
