Jack Hunter is a 2008 American archeological adventure mini-series (in the vein of the Indiana Jones franchise).
The film begins with Jack stealing a stone tablet from a French museum... Young archaeologist Jack Hunter planned only to take a picture of a cuneiform tablet from once unsurpassed Mesopotamian metropolis Ugarit in present Syria, but is caught and has to steal it from a private museum in France.
He refuses to join his mentor, professor Frederic "Freddie" Shaffer, who believes the poem is a coded treasure map, on a relic hunt, until his friend is murdered to steal it.
Their lives are threatened during the long relic quest, for one by common nemesis Albert Littman, but another secret lurks too.
One reviewer from Die Welt, however, did praise the series, saying, "As the successor to Indiana Jones, [Jack Hunter] does the adventurer credit.
