Monday, August 15 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Join us August 15 at dusk for our second summer 2016 presentation at Gold Medal Park, featuring a screening of the third outing by acclaimed director Steven Spielberg's much-loved adventurer Indiana Jones.
Relive the fun and excitement of keeping up with the Joneses in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Beginning with a prologue that reveals a young Indiana Jones (River Phoenix) in one of his first adventures, this thrilling screen epic then kicks into its titular tale as an adult Indy (Harrison Ford) embarks on a perilous quest for his cantankerous father, Professor Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery). The Nazis are on the trail of the Holy Grail, and have kidnapped Indy's father, the foremost authority on the Cup of Christ. Follow Indy as he inches through the rat-filled catacombs of Venice, battles Nazi flying aces in a thrilling biplane dogfight, and braves the thunderous firepower of an unstoppable tank. And behold the Holy Grail's power to give and take life, as Indy and his father race against time in this timeless classic.
Note: Due to the limited viewing area and steep inclines on the hill, no chairs will be permitted at the screening. Also, in accordance with Minneapolis city ordinance, no alcohol will be allowed at all Gold Medal Park screenings. In the case of rain or extreme wind (gusts of 20 mph or more), this screening will be cancelled and notification will be posted on The Film Society's Facebook and Twitter pages.
