The Indiana Jones Tank | Hatay Heavy Tank

In 1989, the initial Indiana Jones trilogy of movies - created by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas - was coming to an end with the final installment; Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The film, set in 1938, sees the swashbuckling fictional archeologist, Dr. Henry ‘Indiana’ Jones Jr., race against a band of Nazis in the hunt for the legendary cup of Christ - The Holy Grail. The film includes an elaborate chase scene featuring a tank owned by the fictional ‘Sultan of Hatay’, the ruler of a republic located somewhere in the region of Turkey. In appearance, it is similar to that of the real-world Tank Mk. VIII ‘Liberty’. While portrayed in the movie as a real tank operated by ‘The Army of the Republic of Hatay’ - with great similarity to a real World War I tank - it is, however, a completely fictional vehicle. Officially, this tank was never named. It is often just referred to as ‘The Indiana Jones Tank’ or ‘The Last Crusade Tank’. For the purpose of this video, the vehicle will be identified as the ‘Hatay Heavy Tank’, based on its country of origin and appearance. Article: https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/fictio...
