Indiana Jones Series Episode 3

The crowded 1989 summer movie season began with a bang as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Harrison Ford teamed up for one last Indiana Jones adventure – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This film deepened Jones’ story, with River Phoenix portraying the adventurer in one of his first adventures, and Sean Connery joining the cast as Jones’ father. Does this series still have the magic, or was this one crusade too many? Donate to Now Playing Podcast and you can find out!
