009 Hatay Heavy Tank - The Indiana Jones Tank


Listen Later

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.
