The third episode of the adventure series is the first and last with Sean Connery as Indy’s father, Prof. Henry Jones Sr. Set in 1938, Indy (Ford) sets off on his most personal adventure yet — to rescue dear old dad, who’s on the trail of the Holy Grail to prevent the sacred object from falling into the evil clutches of the Nazis. Indy stumbles into a pit of snakes, is imprisoned in a medieval castle and pilots a zeppelin. Steven Spielberg returned to direct, his favorite installment of the franchise. Reportedly he and writer George Lucas thought the only man who could play Indy’s father was James Bond (even though Connery was only 12 years older than Ford). From the romantic canals of Venice to the treacherous deserts of the Middle East, this action-packed finale is brimming with heart-pounding sequences, historical intrigue, and a family reunion. — Laura Emerick, Rebecca Mendez
