It’s a cross between National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code — it’s The Last Templar, the NBC mini-series staring Mira Sorvino, Scott Foley (The Unit) and Victor Garber (Alias) and the amazing Omar Sharif.
Based on Raymond Khoury’s #1 international best-seller, the story revolves around an ancient decoder that’s been stolen from a collection of Vatican art. When the daughter of a famed archaeologist (Sorvino) discovers its connection to the history of the Knights Templar, she enlists the help of a New York detective (Foley) to find the decoder and the journal before they fall into the wrong hands. Clue by clue, continent by continent, murder by murder, the quest is on to discover a secret that could change the course of history.
The bonus features include storyboards, a photo gallery and Making The Last Templar, a behind-the-scenes featurette featuring Sorvino, Foley, Garber and Omar Sharif sharing their experiences filming the epic action-adventure on location in Montreal and Morocco. The featurette also takes a look at the stunts, special effects, and exotic locations that are featured in the film, and examines the background of the legendary and mystical medieval Templars.
If you’re a fan of ancient mysteries, international adventures and treasure hunts, you’ll want to own The Last Templar and we have FIVE copies to give away courtesy of Genius Products and RHI Entertainment.

The actors did well with what they had to work with and while it is a killer concept, it is indeed wrong.
I love this movie and would love to win it.
Thank you.

sounds good would love to win this.
10. May 2009 at 10:56 am
I love the thrill of a challenge and a treasure hunt is the best.
10. May 2009 at 11:23 am
Sounds alot like the Davinci Code, but I REALLY enjoyed that movie, so I would love to see this and compare.
10. May 2009 at 1:06 pm
I’ve never heard of this movie before, but I enjoyed both National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code and think I would enjoy this one, too.
10. May 2009 at 3:45 pm
The history and mystery of the Templars interests me and I’ve read several books about them. I’m not familiar with this movie, but I think it’s one that would hold my attention and I’d love to win a copy.
10. May 2009 at 4:40 pm
I love a good mystery.
10. May 2009 at 6:30 pm
I love the idea of the Templars having left secrets behind. This looks like another interesting story, one that I’d prefer to see without commercial interruption.
10. May 2009 at 7:39 pm
The plot of the Last Templar sounds good.
10. May 2009 at 11:03 pm
Love the story line of this movie!
10. May 2009 at 11:04 pm
Love movies that have drama!
11. May 2009 at 5:40 am
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE! COUNT ME IN!!
11. May 2009 at 8:27 am
This is great for movie night! Thanks for the chance!
11. May 2009 at 8:31 am
I never had the chance to see it when it came on TV!
I would love to watch this.
11. May 2009 at 9:29 am
I read the book. Now I want to see the movie.
11. May 2009 at 9:45 am
Wow! I love these kinds of movies!
11. May 2009 at 10:00 am
I haven’t seen this movie and Omar Sharif is the only name mentioned in the review that I am familiar with, but the plot makes this sound like a good suspenseful movie that I would enjoy watching. Please enter me. Thanks!
11. May 2009 at 10:35 am
I think these kinds of movies are always fun. I admit if I had to hunt down a treasure I would fail miserably but watching others think of stuff I could never ever come up with is a blast. I don’t believe I have ever seen Mira Sorvino in this kind of adventure so that would be interesting. Can’t go wrong with Omar Sharif and Foley and Garber should lend a good mix also.
11. May 2009 at 11:56 am
I would love to win this but since I have not seen it I can’t really comment on the actors except for Omar Sharif who is generally wonderful in anything he’s in!
11. May 2009 at 12:00 pm
looks like a good movie
11. May 2009 at 1:31 pm
I like the Unit so I know that with Scott Foley in it its going to be a winner. I also like Mira Sorvino as an actress. With these two in it and the storyiline as well, this movie is going to be a good one.
11. May 2009 at 1:37 pm
great cast, mira sorvino is fantastic in practically anything
11. May 2009 at 1:54 pm
We enjoy scavenger hunts and road rallies too!
11. May 2009 at 3:21 pm
I enjoy history hunts and anything on the Knights Templar is very interesting. Some of the stories I have heard or read could or could not be true. What is the real story?
11. May 2009 at 5:52 pm
Good Cast,I Like Mira Sorvino She’s A Fantastic Actress
11. May 2009 at 6:02 pm
I really like Mira Sorvino and this she is a very underrated actress. Movies like this are always interesting. Remind me of National Treasure and The Librarian starring Noah Wyle. Thanks!

11. May 2009 at 7:51 pm
I like this type of story, but I didn’t get to see it when it was televised.
11. May 2009 at 8:16 pm
Great cast!
I’m a big ‘Mira Sorvino’ fan! She’s an ‘awesome’ actress!
I’ve heard ‘great’ things about this movie and would love to win a copy to add to my dvd collection!
Please, include me in your giveaway drawing!
Thanks and good luck to all!
11. May 2009 at 8:25 pm
Omar Shariff is still around?
11. May 2009 at 8:35 pm
I saw this on the shelf at Wal-mart the other day, and I thought it looked interesting. Mira Sorvino and Omar Sharif are good actors; I’m not familiar with the other two, at least I don’t recognize their names. I’ve seen some documentaries about the Templars on TV in the past, and I like this kind of adventure/mystery story. I’d love the chance to see the DVD.
12. May 2009 at 5:41 am
I would love to see this-Mira Sorvino is such a wonderful actress. Thank you!
12. May 2009 at 7:18 am
I would think,that knowledge would be the greatest treasure.
12. May 2009 at 8:44 am
The movie was great. The visuals were awesome. Mira Sorvino’s performance was outstanding. Omar Sharif is always interesting to watch.
12. May 2009 at 9:10 am

12. May 2009 at 10:18 am
I am a fan of Victor Garber ever since Alias so I’d enjoy seeing him in this kind of adventure film!

i love this kind of movie,adventure, intrigue, and a quest….what more could you ask for?
12. May 2009 at 1:21 pm
I want to find Blackbeard the Pirate’s hidden treasure. I grew up across the Pamlico River from Bath, NC where Blackbeard lived and was always fascinated by his life and the mystery of his suspected buried treasure.
12. May 2009 at 1:34 pm
The search for the Holy Grail really interests me! Wouldn’t this be unbelievably exciting! Thanks for your great site!
12. May 2009 at 3:03 pm
I remember when this was on TV and was kicking myself when I missed it. Would love to win it.
12. May 2009 at 3:08 pm

At least Victor Garber is in it. Can’t say much about mira Sorvino.
12. May 2009 at 5:05 pm
Oooo…treasure hunting plot- interesting!
The actors are great, too. I’d love to see this!
12. May 2009 at 5:28 pm
