I think with regards to this franchise The Last Crusade puts everything right. Again we have Jones (Harrison Ford) facing the Nazis and this time looking for the Holy Grail. We are introduced to Jones' father, Dr. Henry Jones (Sean Connery). We also see a young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix). Returning characters include Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) and Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott). The Nazis have taken an interest in the Holy Grail, and have kidnapped Indiana's father who is an expert on the Holy Grail. He has mailed his journal to his son trying to keep it from the Nazis. However Indiana Jones has brought it with him when he is seeking his father. They are both caught, and the journal taken, but a map has been removed.
There are many adventures in getting away from the Nazis. Indiana says he is use to people trying to kill him, while for his father it is a new experience. I found this movie delightful many years ago and again today. It is always important to choose wisely.
