New York to Venice Flight Path Map

Graphical overlay (animated visual narrative device) superimposed on the private airliner's cabin, depicting the flight route from New York City to Venice, Italy. Tracks the plane's progress across the Atlantic as Indiana Jones, Marcus Brody, Walter Donovan, and Dr. Elsa Schneider travel together. The map highlights their advance toward the Italian destination, syncing with the cabin's engine hum and Indy's study of the Grail Diary. Serves as both a physical object (visual aid) and a transitional narrative device to emphasize the journey's urgency and the race for the Grail amid Nazi pursuit.
