Tintin in the MoviesIn The Red Sea Sharks, Tintin and the Captain visit Petra. Below left. The scene eerily predates a shot in the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” below center. Indy and his father find the Holy Grail in a temple (not named in the film) carved into a cliff. Both recreate the real Petra, below right. |

From the screenplay: “Now we turn a corner and they see the hidden city. Its spectacular Grecian facade is carved directly into the rock. It is a stunning sight.” |
