Legends of the Hidden Temple (also known as Legends of the Hidden Temple: The Movie[1]) is a live-action TV movie inspired by the mid-1990s game show of the same name.[2][3] The film follows three siblings who ditch a jungle tour and find themselves undergoing a real-life obstacle course with the help of Kirk Fogg and Olmec.[4] The film premiered on Nickelodeon on November 26, 2016.[1][5]
Plot
Three siblings, Sadie (Isabela Moner), Noah (Colin Critchley), and Dudley (Jet Jurgensmeyer), go on a jungle tour to the 'Hidden Temple' theme park where Kirk Fogg, now a tour guide, works. Noah has been fascinated by the legends of the seemingly Hidden Temple and has been wondering if he could get inside to explore it, much to his sister Sadie's annoyance. Along with his little brother Dudley, the boys go to the restricted area where the secret entrance to the temple is believed to be. Sadie, seeing this, tries to stop them, but she accidentally steps on the trapdoor that sends them to the temple itself.
Inside the temple, the kids are welcomed by none other than the keeper of the Temple, Olmec who once was a king. Olmec tells them the whole story: Olmec planned to make his son, Prince Zuma as a successor to the kingdom, but his evil brother Thak and his army of Temple Guards attempted to kill Zuma and make himself king, so King Olmec had no choice but to turn the entire civilization into stone. Noah believes that he, Sadie & Dudley are the only ones who can restore the kingdom back to its former glory, so Olmec instructs them to find both half pendants of life in the Room of the Ancient Warriors and the Treasure Room, but warns them of the dangers that might lurk around the temple, and once both half pendants have been found, the pendants need to be combined to unlock the temple within three minutes or risk being trapped inside the temple forever.
