Object

Indy's Car

Indy grips the wheel of his battered car and races it down a dusty mountain road toward a narrow tunnel entrance. The pursuing Messerschmitt's bullets tear through the air and ping off its frame as Indy executes precise maneuvers to position the vehicle as bait. The car's speed and positioning force the plane into the tunnel, where it crashes catastrophically, wings sheared off against the rock walls.
