| − | === Description === |
||
| − | The prologue depicts a young [[Indiana Jones]] in 1912 as a [[Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scout]] settling in [[Utah]], battling [[grave robbers]] for the Cross of Coronado, an ornamental cross belonging to [[Francisco Vázquez de Coronado]]. As the foiled grave robbers give chase, Indiana hides in a circus train, in the process using a [[Whip (implement)|whip]], scarring his chin, and gaining a [[Ophidiophobia|fear of snakes]]. Although he rescues the cross, the robbers tell the [[Sheriff]] that Indiana was the thief, and he is forced to return it, while his oblivious father, [[Henry Jones, Sr.]], is working on his research into the [[Holy Grail]], keeping meticulous notes in a diary. The leader of the hired robbers, dressed very similarly to the future Indiana and impressed by the young Indy's tenacity, gives him his [[Fedora (hat)|fedora]] and some encouraging words. In 1938, Indiana recovers the cross from the robbers' ship in the coast of [[Portugal]], and donates it to [[Marcus Brody]]'s museum. |

| − | Indiana is introduced to the wealthy [[Walter Donovan]], who informs him that Indy's estranged father has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail, using an incomplete stone tablet as his guide. Indy receives a package which turns out to be his father's Grail diary, containing all his life's research on the Grail. Understanding that his father would not have sent the diary unless he was in trouble, Indiana and Marcus travel to [[Venice]], where they meet Henry's colleague Dr. [[Elsa Schneider]]. Indiana and Elsa discover [[Catacombs|catacombs]] beneath the library where Henry was last seen, and discover the tomb of Sir Richard, a knight of the [[First Crusade]], with a complete version of the stone tablet that Henry used. They flee when the catacombs are set aflame by The Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword, and they capture the cult's leader, [[List of characters in the Indiana Jones series|Kazim]]. After Indiana convinces him of their intentions, Kazim explains The Brotherhood are protecting the Grail, and that Henry was abducted to a castle on the [[Austria]]n-[[Germany|German]] border. |

| − | Indiana and Elsa infiltrate the castle. Indiana finds his father, but learns that Elsa and Donovan are working with the [[Nazis]] to seek the grail, hoping that Indiana would discover its location. The Nazis capture Marcus, who had traveled to [[Iskenderun]], [[Hatay State|Hatay]] with the map to the Grail's location. The Joneses are able to escape and recover the diary from Elsa at a [[Nazi]] rally in [[Berlin]], where they proceed to try and escape from Germany to meet with [[Sallah]] in Hatay. There they learn of Marcus' abduction and that the Nazis, backed with resources from the country's leader, are already moving to the Grail's location. With the help of The Brotherhood, the Joneses ambush the convoy and rescue Marcus, though Donovan and Elsa continue on to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, where the Grail resides. |

| − | Indy, his father, Marcus, and Sallah catch up and find that the Nazis are unable to pass through traps set before the Grail. After the four are discovered, Donovan shoots and mortally wounds Henry, forcing Indiana to circumnavigate the traps using the information in his father's diary, with Donovan and Elsa shortly following him. Indiana succeeds and finds himself in a room with the last Knight of the First Crusade, kept alive with the power of the Grail, which has been hidden among several other cups. Elsa selects a gilded cup encrusted in jewels for Donovan, knowing it to be fake; when Donovan drinks from it, he ages rapidly before decaying and turning into dust. Indiana, recognizing that the Grail would be that of a humble carpenter instead of a wealthy king, selects the correct vessel, and quickly takes it to his father with the holy water, which heals his wounds instantly when the older Jones drinks from it. As they prepare to leave, the Knight warns them to not take the Grail out of the temple, but Elsa does so, causing the temple to collapse. Elsa falls into an abyss during a greedy attempt to recover the Grail, and Indiana almost meets the same fate until his father tells him to let it go, showing that their relationship is more important than the Grail. The Joneses, Marcus, and Sallah flee the collapsing temple and ride off into the sunset. |
