There his services are requested by an English noble to retrieve his missing brother from the mysterious African interior and to find the legendary mines belonging to biblical figure King Solomon sound familiar?
The film made plenty of changes, such as adding a female love interest for Quartermain and reducing the prominence of any black African characters in the already racist Victorian novel to even more primitive stereotypes.
Filmed in breathtaking 70mm and in the actual deserts traversed by T. Lawrence, its visuals are still astonishing 60 years later. Particularly since they really went to those places.
Spielberg attempts to homage that mythical quality repeatedly in the Indiana Jones movies. In Last Crusade , Indy and multiple companions ride directly into a sunset, which recreates the famous Lawrence of Arabia shot. It also is a smaller influence on Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Maltese Falcon begins as a murder mystery before giving way to a larger plot in which a sordid collection of gangsters and criminals fight over a MacGuffin called the Maltese Falcon.
While the MacGuffins are a lot more powerful in the Indiana Jones movies, the idea of a magnificent ancient prize driving men mad carries over from The Maltese Falcon , and both Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade riff on the reversal, with the Nazis initially finding only dust in the opened ark in Raiders , and the villain of Last Crusade being fooled into thinking the Holy Grail would be made of gold and covered in jewels.
To further accentuate the influence, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is filmed in the same Spanish desert as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly when Indy and his father travel to a fictional Middle Eastern country on their quest.
A small nod occurs at the top of Temple of Doom when the Paramount Pictures logo turns into an engraving of a mountain on a Chinese gong that is soon rang in.
This is an overt homage to the opening title card of movies produced by the British film studio the Rank Organization, which began with a man also hitting a gong. However, George Lucas clearly is since they visibly informed Star Wars as much as Indy, what with interstellar adventures like Commander Cody. On the other side of the paradigm there were a cornucopia of midth century Republic serials about adventurers and masked superheroes fighting Nazis that clearly made an impact.
With incidents like Rex out-swimming German boats to impersonating German personnel, it all has an air of Indy. As with the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark , Zorro uses his whip to disarm foes, swing out windows, and even escape an avalanche. But the stunt that most clearly inspired Indy is a scene where Zorro falls between the horses and under the wheels of a stagecoach, hanging by his trusty fingers.
Like the Indiana Jones movies, the filmmakers behind it were clearly big fans of The Treasure of Sierra Madre more below. Also like Indy, they took it in a decidedly more Saturday morning direction. A young Charlton Heston stars in this movie as Harry Steele, a fedora-wearing, leather jacket sporting, adventurer who is after fortune and glory, kid.
Fortune and glory. When Harry gets wind that some dastardly archeologists are on a dig down in Peru, having discovered a lost ancient kingdom, Harry gets the bright idea of sneaking onto their dig site and stealing a golden sunburst right out from under them. Explore Wikis Community Central.

There are more practical effects in the film than you might suspect. No, no one actually got their heart pulled out on camera. But the raft falling from the plane was filmed in one take.
