Location
Cliffside Mountain Pass
Narrow Pass (British Cavalry Arrival Point)
Confined mountain defile on the cliff edge above the crocodile-choked gorge, where British cavalry thunders into view after the rope bridge collapses. Hooves pound the rocky ground, raising dust clouds as soldiers fire rifles at Thuggee archers on the opposite side. Flames lick the dangling bridge wreckage below, and screams echo from plummeting guards, transforming this overlook into the pivotal site that rescues Indy, Willie, and Short Round by shattering the cult's advantage.
