Filming began on May 16, 1988, with a shooting budget of 36 million U.S. dollars. The filming locations included Venice, Spain, Jordan, Australia, Germany and Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Utah in the United States. According to Spielberg's shooting plan, the first thing to shoot is the tank chase. This scene to be completed in Almeria, Spain was originally scheduled to only take two days and was a small bridge segment with little ink, but Spielberg made full use of the plot board and developed into a lot of action. The highlight of the scene. In the end, this 10-minute scene took two weeks to complete. The crew produced two tanks, one of which was smaller in size and only the upper part of the tank was used for close-up shots.
In 1989, the movie "Indiana Jones 3: The Holy War" was shot in a series of locations, but the most impressive one was the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. The treasure house in the ancient city is a huge Greek-style columnar building, artificially carved on the pink sandstone wall of the canyon. It is a pity for the audience that the film only presents the outside of the treasure house for them, without going inside to find out. The inside of the treasure house is actually some empty rooms. At the climax of the film, the 2500-year-old ancient city makes the audience feel a strange sense of silence and mystery. People who have traveled to Petra say that this ancient city is a colorful world with a kind of eternal beauty.
