In 1912, the 13-year-old Boy Scout Indiana Jones battles a group of grave robbers in Utah for the ornamental Cross of Coronado. As the robbers give chase, Indiana hides in a circus train where he uses a bullwhip for the first time, scars his chin and gains his fear of snakes. Although he retrieves the Cross, the robbers tell the local sheriff that Indiana was the thief, and he is forced to return it. Indiana's father, Henry Jones, remains oblivious to the incident as he researches the Holy Grail. The leader of the robbers, dressed similarly to the future Indiana, is impressed by the young Boy Scout's tenacity and gives him his fedora and some encouraging words. Twenty-six years later, in 1938, Indiana finally recovers the Cross and donates it to his friend Marcus Brody's museum.
Indiana is later taken to the residence of wealthy businessman Walter Donovan, who informs him that his father has vanished while searching for the Holy Grail, leaving behind partial directions from an incomplete stone tablet along with his diary containing his life's work on the Grail. Indiana and Marcus travel to Venice to investigate Henry's disappearance, meeting up with his colleague Elsa Schneider. Discovering catacombs beneath the library where Henry was last seen, Indiana and Elsa find the tomb of Sir Richard, a knight of the First Crusade who is buried with a complete version of the tablet, allowing Indiana to interpret the remaining directions to the Grail, leading to Iskenderun, Hatay. They are suddenly chased by a cult guarding the secret of the Holy Grail, believing them to be thieves. Capturing the cult's leader, Indiana explains he is only searching for his father, whom the cult leader points out is being held hostage in a castle on the Austrian-German boarder. There Indiana finds his father, only to be betrayed by Elsa, who reveals that she and Donovan are working with the Nazis to find the Grail.
The Nazis steal the Grail diary and capture Marcus in Iskenderun, where he was sent with pages from the diary to seek the protection of Sallah. The Joneses manage to escape the castle and follow the Nazis to Berlin, where they recover the diary from Elsa. The Joneses take a Zeppelin to Athens, only to find the authorities on the Zeppelin ordering the aircraft to be turned around. The Joneses escape on a biplane and fight off pursuing Nazi fighter planes until Henry accidentally shoots themselves down with their own tail gun. They survive the crash and meet with Sallah in Hatay, who informs them that the Nazis are moving towards the Grail's location with Marcus and a map from the diary. The Joneses ambush the convoy of Nazi tanks and rescue Marcus. Donovan and Elsa continue down to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, where the temple containing Grail is located.
The Joneses, Marcus and Sallah arrive to find that the Nazis are unable to pass through three "trials" of God (depicted as booby traps guarding the Grail). Donovan shoots and mortally wounds Henry as a means of forcing Indiana to seek the Grail for its powers to restore life, which will save his father. Using information from the diary, Indiana braves the trials with Donovan and Elsa following behind. Following the trials, Indiana encounters the last Knight of the First Crusade, kept alive by the power of the Grail, who has hidden the Grail among many false Grails that will drain the life of anyone who drinks from them. Elsa selects a golden cup for Donovan, but when he drinks from it, he rapidly ages into dust. Deducing that Christ's cup would be fit for that of a carpenter, which he was raised to be, Indiana drinks from a humble wooden chalice, which turns out to be the real Grail. Indiana brings the Grail to his dying father, who drinks from it and fully recovers. Elsa takes the Grail and attempts to leave the temple with it, despite the Knight's warnings not to, causing the temple to collapse. While attempting to recover it, Elsa falls down a chasm to her death. Indiana nearly meets the same fate until his father tells him to let it go. The Joneses, Marcus and Sallah flee the temple before it caves in.
In response to Sallah's questioning as to why Henry keeps referring to his son as "Junior," Henry reveals that Indiana's real name is "Henry Jones, Jr.," and that "Indiana" was actually the name of the family dog. Following this rather humorous scenario, the Joneses, Marcus and Sallah proceed to ride off into the सुन्सेट.
