Flynn retrieves the last spear piece, the blade, and the temple starts to collapse. They head to Shangri-La, in the Himalayas.Īt Shangri-La, they learn that their arrival has been prophesied. He makes a deal to find the last piece of the spear in exchange for Nicole's life.
They retrieve the second piece of the spear and are immediately captured by the brotherhood and Wilde, who is about to shoot Nicole when Flynn steps in front of her. As the two travel through the Amazon rainforest, they encounter waterfalls, headhunters, bridge collapses, and Maya death traps, which they manage to survive with little difficulty thanks to Flynn's extensive knowledge and Nicole's physical prowess. She resists any friendly feelings for Flynn. She fell in love with the last Librarian and blames herself for his death. She works for the Library in the role later defined as Guardian. Once they land, he finds that his rescuer, Nicole Noone ( Sonya Walger), has been sent by Judson. On the plane, Flynn is ambushed by members of the Serpent Brotherhood and is rescued by a woman who forces him out of the plane in mid-air. He heads off to the Amazon jungle, with only two tools: his mind and a book written in a previously untranslated language called the " Language of the birds.” Flynn is the only one on Earth who can track down the remaining two pieces and prevent the Serpent Brotherhood from possessing all three. (The audience learns of Wilde's involvement immediately.) Judson explains that whoever has the complete Spear of Destiny will control the destiny of the entire world (it is said in the film that "Hitler had only one" piece of the Spear).
The items for which Flynn is responsible include Pandora's Box, Tesla's Death Ray, the Holy Grail, the transmuted corpse of King Midas, the Ark of the Covenant, the Golden Fleece, a live unicorn, the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs, Excalibur, the original Mona Lisa (in the film the Louvre version is a copy), the original " Little Boy" prototype atomic bomb, a working jet pack, Ali Baba's Flying Carpet, and the Spear of Destiny.įlynn finds that the job entails more than he expected when one of three parts of the Spear of Destiny is stolen by a cult known as the Serpent Brotherhood, led by the former librarian Wilde ( Kyle MacLachlan), who had faked his own death. His role is to protect historical and often magical items stored in a vast secret space far below the "real" library. The position of Librarian has existed for thousands of years. Shortly after his odd but successful interview with humorless library administrator, Charlene ( Jane Curtin)-and one vital question from a disembodied voice-he is shown the true Library by the owner of the voice, Judson ( Bob Newhart). She is constantly worried about her son and encourages him to get a job, find a wife, and be happy.įlynn receives a mysterious, magical invitation to interview "for a prestigious position" at the Metropolitan Public Library. Flynn's mother, Margie ( Olympia Dukakis), says the same thing. He tells Flynn-who does not know the names of his fellow students- that he lacks real-life experience and needs to see life outside of college. It will be months before he can sign up for another class. They have just completed a 1/20th scale model of the great pyramid, complete with a gold capstone.
Flynn Carsen ( Noah Wyle), a perpetual college student in his 30s with 22 academic degrees, is kicked out of college by his professor, Harris ( Mario Iván Martínez), who arranges for Flynn to get his 23rd degree mid-term.
