A mix of Indiana Jones, The Mummy and bits of Da Vinci code, this wannabe riotous swashbuckling entertainer fails to raise its level because of its mediocre script.

Luke Purdue(Krasinski), son of an archaeologist of repute, is a shady obtainer of rare antiquities. His little sister Charlotte (Portman), an art curator, is facing an acrimonious divorce. Luke shows up one day at her museum and steals a priceless Rembrandt. Charlotte loses her job as a consequence, lands in the cross-hairs of Interpol inspector Jamal Abbass (Arian Moayed) and risks losing custody of her son Thomas (Benjamin Chivers). Luke has a solution. He invites her to join him and their father’s team of researchers and explorers, to locate the legendary fountain of youth in time to save the life of cancer-stricken, ultra-wealthy benefactor, Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson) - who is bankrolling the entire search and expedition.

With Interpol, Esme (Eiza González) and an assorted group of protectors hot on their heels, Luke, Charlotte and team are on a sticky wicket while trying to follow an elaborate trail of clues from Ireland to Switzerland to Egypt while staying one step ahead of their pursuers.
