WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Tad Jones (White) is a simple and clueless construction worker who wants to become an archaeologist and explorer, like his crush Sara (Kelly). When she discovers the final clue to find the necklace of King Midas, Sara is kidnapped by ruthless millionaire Jack Rackham (Tikaram), and Tad – along with Sara’s scholar Tiffany (Whelan), an ancient Mummy (Balderrama), his dog Jeff and Sara’s pet bird Belzoni – must go on an epic adventure around the world to rescue her…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This exciting family adventure is fun for the whole family, and a great stepping stone if you want your children to become more interested in the Indiana Jones movies (or you could just, y’know, show them those movies, but this should probably be harmless enough viewing anyway).
