Deserted Mediterranean Beach (Nazi Messerschmitt Chase Scene)

A deserted stretch of Mediterranean coastline where Indy and Henry are exposed to a Nazi Messerschmitt fighter plane's strafing runs. The open terrain offers no cover, with waves crashing nearby and seagulls wheeling overhead. Henry uses his umbrella to attract the seagulls, causing them to choke the plane's propeller and crash it in a fiery explosion. The scene highlights raw vulnerability, desperation, and ingenuity in an improvised battleground where intellect clashes with machinery. The isolation and exposure of the location are central to the narrative tension.
