Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 American adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a story co-written by executive producer George Lucas. It is the third film in the Indiana Jones franchise. Harrison Ford reprises the title role and Sean Connery plays Indiana's father. Alison Doody, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, River Phoenix and John Rhys-Davies also feature. Set largely in 1938, the film has Indiana searching for his father, who was kidnapped by Nazis while looking for the Holy Grail.

After the mixed reaction to the dark Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spielberg chose to compensate by completing the trilogy with a movie lighter in tone. During the five years between Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, several scripts were written before Jeffrey Boam's was accepted. The filming locations included Spain, Italy, England, and Jordan.
The film was released in North America on May 24, 1989 to mixed reviews, but a better overall reception than Temple of Doom. It was a financial success, outgrossing the two previous Indiana Jones movies with $474,171,806 at the worldwide box office.
