The third installment of America’s favorite archaeological-action franchise combines cowboy western style, familial sentiment, and Indy’s always-explosive punch! When Jones’ father goes missing during his quest to discover and acquire the Holy Grail, Jr. answers the call and takes on the job. With locations around the world, chases via every possible vehicle, and answers to many origin-story mysteries (like why the whip? Why fear snakes?), this sequel satisfies for so many reasons. Stars Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, and River Phoenix as a boyhood Indiana Jones.
