Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a movie with Harrison Ford, in which he starts searching for the holy grail. This task was originally his father's, but now, his father, Henry Jones, has been kidnapped by Germans who are also trying to find the grail. But as Indiana Jones has his father's diary, he is able to make his way to the temple where the grail is hidden. After passing three tasks which are there to test his belief in god, he and his enemy, Walter Donovan, come to the chamber where they have to select one of about twenty grails. Donovan takes the wrong one, tries it and dies, but Indiana chooses correctly, heals his wounded father and leaves the temple, which is destroyed so the grail will never leave it....

Notes
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the tank falls off the cliff and hits the ground below, the turret falls off, revealing a flat surface underneath on the chassis model - there's no way for the occupants to climb out from the body of the tank through the turret, as we see them do several times previously.

Trivia:
When George Lucas met with Steven Spielberg to discuss a third Indiana Jones movie, he wanted to have it set in a haunted mansion. Spielberg had just finished Poltergeist (1982) and decided that he wanted to do something different. Lucas then came up with the idea of the Holy Grail and Spielberg added the idea of a father/son sub-story. (more)
