Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) is an overly eager college history student. He's in his 30's and still lives at home with his mother. His mother Margie (Olympia Dukakis) is desperate to set him up on a date. He receives a magical invite. He is recruited by Charlene (Jane Curtin) and Judson (Bob Newhart) to be the new Librarian. The Library has been collecting and safeguarding magical artifacts over many eons. He is traveling to retrieve the Spear of Destiny when he gets attacked. He is saved by Nicole Noone (Sonya Walger) sitting next to him. She has been sent by the Library as the Librarian's protector. They discover that the group attacking them is led by former Librarian Wilde (Kyle MacLachlan) who was assumed killed.
The sets and the CGI look pretty bad. It makes the whole thing looks like a cheesy B-movie. It has a bit of the self-knowing cheesiness. It could have done more to load up the cheese. It ends up alternating between trying to be serious and cheesy B-movie camp. I don't think Noah Wyle is that type of personality. Maybe he can grow into an irreverent actor. This is a marginal case.
