Landing a job that sees him guarding artefacts such as Pandora's Box and Excalibur, Carsen finds hinself in hot water when a shard of the Spear of Destiny is stolen from the library. Determined to retrieve it from the dastardly Serpent Brotherhood, Carsen enlists a shapely female martial arts expert to help him, and sets off on an action-packed mission in this fast, furious, and fun romp.

  • To be a librarian, you must master the Dewey Decimal System, ace internet research and, if you're new librarian Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle), save the world! Wyle (ER) heads a sterling cast in a fun, fantastical, special effects-laden adventure that soars around the world from the Metropolitan Library to the Amazon jungle to the Himalayas. Geeky Carsen lands a job as the Librarian, keeper of such top-secret Met treasures as Excalibur and Pandora's Box. Then the Serpent Brotherhood, seeking world domination, steals one of three parts of the magical Spear of Destiny from the library. Only Flynn, aided by a gorgeous bodyguard, has the knowhow to thwart their plan. But does he know how to be a hero? He will - even if he has to gouge, kick, punch, brave Mayan death traps and plunge off icy precipices every inch of the way!

    It's all totally lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek and never dares to be serious about anything, which is refreshing.

    It’s a fun cheesy cable TV flick, a slice of winking B movie giddiness that charms us into smiling through all the nonsense.
