The Librarian: Quest for The Spear is a 2004 TNT Original Movie written by David Titcher and executive-produced by Dean Devlin. It stars Noah Wyle as brilliant 30-year-old student Flynn Carsen, Sonya Walger as Nicole Noone, and Lisa Brenner as Debra.

Interesting Trivia

1) The Artifacts in the Library are: Tesla's Death Ray, The Holy Grail, Little Boy (Atomic bomb), The Ark of the Covenant ("Don't touch or you'll be electrocuted"), The Golden Fleece, King Midas, Excalibur (see Discrepancies below), The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg, Pandora's Box (which Flynn opens), "The Real Mona Lisa", A Unicorn, Rocketeer's Jetpack (which Flynn nearly destroys the library with) and the Spear Longinus (Spear of Destiny).

2) When the elevator doors open and close at the bottom of the library, the audio from the "Turbolift" doors from the TV Show, "Star Trek" is heard.

3) Rumors abound that a Librarian 2 is in production, slated for release in either 2006 or 2007.

Goofs/Movie Mistakes

1) Flynn says that the chamber in the Mayan temple is "an exact replica of their great temple of Teotihuacan." But Teotihuacan was not a Mayan city, but rather the hub of a separate civilization (themselves called the Teotihuacan). It was in central Mexico, hundreds of miles from the Mayan area in the Yucatan Peninsula.

2) When Flynn presses the stones at the Mayan temple, he identifies the numbers that are carved on them. The stones do have the bars and dots of the vigeximal Mayan numerical system. However, he identifies the specific numbers incorrectly. For example, the stone that he claims says 65 actually has 180 imprinted on it.

3) When Flynn and Nicole are underwater, after jumping off the cliff with the Brotherhood just behind them, you can see a gold-colored item fall from Flynn's bag. It's identical to the book and to our knowledge he has nothing else with him. Yet, later on in the movie, he still has the book with him.

4) Flynn gives the size of the chamber in the Mayan temple as "300 quahuitls X 20 quahuitls." However, the quahuitl was an Aztec unit of measurement, and was not used by the Maya.

5) Flynn says that the chamber in the Mayan temple is 300 quahuitls long. A quahuitl is approximately 2.5 meters, so 300 quahuitls would be 750 meters, or nearly half a mile. The chamber he and the others are in is large, but not that large.

Discrepancies

When Flynn sees the sword set in a stone, he identifies it as Excalibur. However, the legendary sword in the stone, in most Arthurian stories and legends, is not Excalibur. Excalibur was a different sword, given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake, years after he withdrew this previous sword from the stone.

This has been the basis of many Arthurian arguments.
