The
year is 1938. Just back from
a hunt for the legendary Cross
of Coronado, Indiana Jones is
"invited" by multi-millionaire
Walter Donovan who has discovered
a mysterious stone tablet. Indy
instantly recognizes it as the
first of three hidden markers
that reveal the location of
the legendary Holy Grail itself.
But Indy's excitement
over the Holy Grail soon fades
when he hears that the man who
found the tablet is world's
greatest Grail expert Dr. Henry
Jones, Indy's own father, and
that he has gone missing.
Following his father's trail,
Indy and Marcus Brody journey
to Venice where they meet with
Dr. Elsa Schneider, Donovan's
colleague.
Dr. Schneider
leads them to the place where
she last saw Indy's father where
they hope to find a clue of
his disappearance. But they
are being followed by the Brotherhood
of the Cruciform Sword, whose
members have vowed to protect
the Grail at any cost. After
a spectacular boat chase one
of the Brotherhood members gets
caught and reveals that Indy's
father is being held in the
Brunwald Castle in Austria.
Once arrived at the Castle,
Indy discovers that the castle
is currently occupied by Hitler's
Nazi soldiers and that both
Else Schneider and Walter Donovan
are Nazi double-agents.
Indiana Jones
and his father can eventually
escape the castle only to find
themselves chased through the
streets of Austria, through
the skies above Germany and
through the deserts of Turkey.
With the help of Sallah and
Marcus Brody they finally locate
the Grail's resting place. But
when entering the temple the
Joneses find out that they have
been beaten by the Nazis.
Determined to
force Indy to retrieve the Grail,
Donovan shoots Dr. Jones Sr.
who collapses to the floor.
The only thing that can save
Indy's father from a certain
death is the healing abilities
of the Holy Grail.
But that appears not to be an
easy task as Indy needs to get
past three deadly traps protecting
the Grail...
