Sydney Fox is a professor and globe-trotting "relic hunter" who looks for ancient artifacts to return to museums and/or the descendants of the original owner. She is aided by her linguistic assistant Nigel and occasionally by her somewhat air-headed secretary Claudia. She often ends up battling rival hunters seeking out artifacts for the money.

Relic Hunter Audience Reviews

Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
mootsdw I loved this show when it first ran, and wish there had been more than 3 seasons (why did it end so soon - was it too exhausting for the actors?)! I love archaeology (have seen most of the major ruins around the world - 56 countries and counting). Also love Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and martial arts, and love that the show had a strong, intelligent, beautiful female lead in Sydney! I also thoroughly enjoyed Nigel, the British sidekick and comedy relief - not an easy part to play! The sets were awesome, the scripts were varied and fun, and they had great guest stars every week. I recently bought the 3 season set and loved it all over again! Wish Tia would come back to TV in that kind of role!!
Anders L The first 2 episodes of season 1 was a pain, i was on the verge of abandoning it halfway into episode 2 but something kept me watching and im glad that I gave it a second chance.Halfway into season 1 the series made a significant change to the better and now I cant stop watching it. Eventho the story for the most parts is a bit thin and simple, but this is not necessary a bad thing imo, because it lets the actors a chance to blossom.The first thing that strikes the viewer is the obvious gender stereotypes being put on display by the main actors appearances and their lines, but Tia Carrere's character sydney fox is an icon representative of the women rights movement, strong, independent and ready to fight back.
tatsu2050 I watch a lot of TV shows and a show doesn't have to have a gigantic budget to keep me entertained. If it's witty, charming and has likable characters you don't mind cheap sets and more often than not bad actors around the main characters. I really like Tia Carrere in this show and... well that's almost about it.In everything I read about Relic Hunter before watching it myself the figures Indiana Jones and Lara Croft were brought up. Let me put it in few and simple words where the similarities lie: * Indiana Jones is a university professor -> Sydney Fox is, too * Indiana Jones looks for relics -> Sydney Fox does, too * Lara Croft got martial arts skills -> Sydney Fox does, tooNow let's take a look at the differences: * Indy Jones is a really intelligent man who knows very much and has to figure out intriguing riddles -> Sydney Fox never gives the impression she is a top professor with a vast knowledge about what she does. When she solves a riddle its more like putting a puzzle together than using a lot of wit. * Lara Croft is just completely kick-ass in everything she does -> Sydney Fox shows some vulnerability here and there (not a bad thing in general), and being kick-ass mostly focuses on the fight scenes.In most shows there is the concept of the hero of the show and the comic relief sidekick. In this case the sidekick would be Nigel, nerdy teaching assistant from England with his slightly distinguished British accent and manner. This would be a good mix if the Sydney character was actually really knowledgeable and kick-ass and the sidekick really nerdy and funny. Thing is they're both just not all that extreme in their ways so you sometimes wonder who plays who's part.The one thing that is really above average about this show are the fight scenes. Those are well executed and pretty often have some slapstick element to them that is actually funny. And Tia Carrere is really good in her role. I'm not a fanboy but have to say, if it wasn't for her charisma I wouldn't have gotten past the first episode.I give this show a 5/10 because of Tia, the fight scenes and the general concept of the show.
lara_5ok I have seen relic hunter for about 10 times and i like it more every time i see it. I love the character of sydney and I surely do like nigel's. I regret the fact that lindy booth couldn't go till the end with her role, cause claudia was the funnyest character. i hope you'll get to see this TV series as many times as i did, and you'll surely fall in love with it, as i did. well good bye and "catch relic hunter", as tia wrote in an autograph once. I'm pretty sure that no one who has seen at least one episode didn't want to see the next too, so...what can i say...watch at least the first one, and the other ones will come themselves. what a coincidence, cause today is an episode from the 3rd series and i may miss it if i stay longer to write to you. have fun and don't forget to watch relic hunter
