In the cinema, the Holy Grail debuted in the 1904 silent film ''[[Parsifal (1904 film)|Parsifal]]'', an adaptation of Wagner's opera by [[Edwin S. Porter]]. More recent cinematic adaptations include Costain's ''The Silver Chalice'' made into a [[The Silver Chalice (film)|1954 film]] by [[Victor Saville]] and Brown's ''The Da Vinci Code'' turned into a [[The Da Vinci Code (film)|2006 film]] by [[Ron Howard]].

* ''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'' (1975) is a comedic take on the Arthurian Grail quest, adapted in 2004 as the stage production ''[[Spamalot]]''. 
* [[John Boorman]], in his fantasy film ''[[Excalibur (film)|Excalibur]]'' (1981), attempted to restore a more traditional heroic representation of an Arthurian tale, in which the Grail is revealed as a mystical means to revitalise Arthur and the barren land to which his depressive sickness is connected.

* In the season one episode "[[Grail (Babylon 5)|Grail]]" (1994) of the television series ''[[Babylon 5]]'', a man named Aldous Gajic visits Babylon 5 in his continuing quest to find the Holy Grail. His quest is primarily a plot device, as the episode's action revolves not around the quest but rather around his presence and impact on the life of a station resident.
* The video game ''[[Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned]]'' (1999) features an alternate version of the Grail, interwoven with the mythology of the [[Knights Templar]]. The Holy Grail is revealed in the story to be the blood of Jesus Christ that contains his power, only accessible to those descended from him, with the vessel of the Grail being defined as his body itself which the Templars uncovered in the Holy Lands.

* In the television series [[Knightfall (TV series)|''Knightfall'']] (2017), the search for the Holy Grail by the Knights Templar is a major theme of the series' first season. The Grail, which appears as a simple earthenware cup, is coveted by various factions including the Pope, who thinks that possession of it will enable him to ignite another Crusade.
* In the ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate]]'' franchise, the Holy Grail serves as the prize of the Holy Grail War, granting a single wish to the victor of the battle royale. However, it is hinted at throughout the series that this Grail is not the real chalice of Christ, but is actually an item of uncertain nature created by mages some generations ago.
* In the ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' video game franchise the Holy Grail is mentioned. In the original game, one Templar refers to the main relic of the game as the Holy Grail, although it was later discovered to be one of many Apples of Eden. The Holy Grail was mentioned again in Templar Legends, ending up in either Scotland or Spain by different accounts. The Holy Grail appears again in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', by the name of the Chalice, however this time not as an object but as a woman named Adha, similar to the sang rael, or royal blood, interpretation.
