From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from 1989 and Romancing the Stone from 1984.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, based on a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes.
It is the third instalment in the Indiana Jones film series and the sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
Harrison Ford returned in the title role, while his father is portrayed by Sean Connery.
Other cast members featured include Alison Doody, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies.
In the film, set in 1938, Indiana searches for his father, a Holy Grail scholar, who has been kidnapped and held hostage by the Nazis while on a journey to find the Holy Grail.
After some of the criticism that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) received, Spielberg chose to make a more light-hearted film for the next instalment, as well as bringing back several elements from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
During the five years between The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade, he and executive producer Lucas reviewed several scripts before accepting Jeffrey Boam's.
Filming locations included Spain, Italy, West Germany, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The Last Crusade was released in the United States on 24 May 1989, by Paramount Pictures.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics for Ford and Connery's performances, humour, the father-son relationship, action sequences, and John Williams' score.
It was a financial success, earning over $474 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 1989.
It also won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing and was nominated for Best Original Score and Best Sound at the 62nd Academy Awards.
A sequel, Indiana Jones, and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, followed in May 2008, while a fifth and final film, Indiana Jones, and the Dial of Destiny, was released in June 2023.

Romancing the Stone is a 1984 action-adventure romantic comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Diane Thomas, and produced by Michael Douglas, who also starred in the film alongside co-stars Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.
The film follows a romance novelist who must venture beyond her New York City comfort zone to Colombia to save her sister from criminals who are holding her for ransom as they search for a priceless treasure.
Thomas wrote the screenplay in 1979, as the only one in her lifetime.
Zemeckis, who at the time was developing Cocoon, liked Thomas's screenplay, and offered to direct but 20th Century Fox initially declined, citing the commercial failure of his first two films I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Used Cars.
Zemeckis was eventually dismissed from Cocoon after an early screening of Romancing the Stone failed to further impress studio executives.
Alan Silvestri, who would collaborate with Zemeckis on his later films, composed the score.
Romancing the Stone was released on 30 March 1984, to positive reviews from critics and earned over $115 million worldwide at the box office.
A sequel, The Jewel of the Nile, was released in December 1985.
