Indian Jones and the Last Crusade

The 3rd in the Indian Jones franchise, I found it the most entertaining and also it seemed to be the story where equal attention has been given to action and drama as the later was curiously lacking in the earlier pieces. Shaun Connory co-stars in this quest for the Holy Grail where he features as Indiana's father, Henry Jones and it was his dissapearance during the quest for the Grail that forces the Junior Jones to the trail. Jones travels to Venice, meets the femme-fatale Dr. Elsa Schneider and is immediately confronted by the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword, the protector of the secret to the Grail and their leader, Kasem, when cornered, reveals the wherabout of Henry in a place in Austria. As Jones finds his father, they are captured by the Nazis but the Jones' escapes by Zeppelin to Athens. In the course of this journey, they are again attacked by Nazis but they manage to flee and seek the help of Sallah at Hatay. The race between the Jones' and Nazis reach the climax at the entrance to the secret chamber of the Grail where the villain Donovan mortally shoots Henry to force Indy to find the entrance to the chamber amid the primitive booby traps set up by the knights of the First Crusade. It was earlier revealed that a sip of water from the Grail gives immortality to the drinker. Jones manages to understand the clues to the trap and entering the chamber meets the last Knight of the First Crusade and then correctly selects the Grail from a host of other cups. The evil Donovan drinks from the wrong cup and withers to death while Elsa, not paying heed to the Knight's warning of not taking the Grail outside the temple while attempting to do so, results in the collapse of the temple. Henry, now cured by the Grail's healing power pursuades his son, quite maturely, to leave the Grail alone and they escapes the temple in time avoiding the collapsing structures.
This was the best Indiana Jones movie I watched so far and thought it to be the most fun-filled, thanks to the witty acting of Shaun Connory.
