The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines (2006)

  This movie is basically a shameless made-for-TV rip-off of all three Indiana Jones movies (four if you count Crystal Skull, which we all know doesn't exist) as well as Casablanca and Romancing the Stone, but you know what?  That's okay.  It doesn't have to be high art.  It's totally fine to be fun and silly and take liberties with source material.  

Flynn Carson (Noah Wyle) is living the life of a Librarian, running around the globe, keeping magical artifacts from falling into the wrong hands.  A scroll sent to him from Egypt kicks off an adventure a little closer to home as Flynn discovers that his father was somehow involved in keeping the secret of the lost mines of King Solomon, a fabled vault of treasures including a book of spells with the power to affect space and time.  With the help of archeologist Emily Davenport (Gabrielle Anwar), Flynn must decipher clues to the location of the mines left by his father before a ruthless group of mercenaries.  

If you liked the TV show, this is more of the same.  It's currently streaming on Tubi.

  1. The movies are not great but the show was amusing. I am not sure if I liked Warehouse 13 or Librarians more. Both were good just one more SCI-FI while the other supernatural based.
