2. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

While all four of his films involve some form of treasure hunting, the original is unsurpassed. Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones goes on the hunt for the fabled Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark (which is technically the character’s second adventure, as Raiders is placed after the events of the Temple of Doom).

All he needs to do now is acquire a staff, use it to locate a hidden chamber full of snakes, and take the Ark before an army of Nazis arrives.

3. Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) 

IMDB – 8.4

It’s difficult to imagine treasure hunting without thinking of Indiana Jones and his distinctive fedora. He wasn’t the first hero to hunt out long-lost fortunes, but it’s difficult to think of one who did it better.

Indiana Jones’ first quest is still his favorite, as he partners up with an old flame (Karen Allen) to find the biblical Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis can use it to unleash its terrifying power. Steven Spielberg presents a nostalgic adventure full of thrills, humor, and joy, starring Harrison Ford as a legendary hero.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

IMDB – 8.0

Pirate movies had been out of favor for a long time before this swashbuckling Disney adventure proved that the genre could still be entertaining. Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, is an eccentric pirate who wants to reclaim command of his former ship, whose crew has been cursed by a forbidden treasure.

The action is spectacular, and the tale is engaging. However, Depp’s unhinged acting adds so much humor and excitement to the journey that he is the main reason the film works so well. It is undoubtedly one of the best treasure-hunting movies of all time.

5. The Goonies

IMDB – 7.8

Three Kings offers a more modern approach to the treasure hunt plot, making for an interesting and distinct film. A small group of troops creates a scheme to steal gold from one of Saddam Hussein’s bunkers in David O. 

Russell’s war film is set towards the end of the Gulf War. George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube make excellent leads, and the film successfully balances a variety of tones. You’ll be enthralled by the action, amused by the humor, and engaged by the drama all at the same time.

The Mummy is a thrilling, suspenseful, and frightening epic set in the Sahara Desert in 1925.
