A year after securing the job as librarian in the Metropolitan Public Library and now a bit more comfortable in his position, Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) is asked by Library Director Judson (Bob Newhart) to find a stolen map showing the location of King Solomon's mines as well as the legend necessary to decipher the map. The legend is known to be located in the Volubilis ruins near Casablanca in Morocco, so Flynn flies there, only to invoke both the displeasure of Professor Emily Davenport (Gabrielle Anwar), the archeologist who is currently excavating the ruins, and the attention of a group of ruthless mercenaries headed by General Samir (Erick Avari), the head of the militia, who are also looking for the mines.

Return to King Solomon's Mines is the second movie in the made-for-TV Librarian franchise, preceded by O Guardião: Em Busca da Lança Sagrada (2004) (2004) and followed by O Guardião 3: A Maldição do Cálice de Judas (2008) (2008). The screenplay for Return to King Solomon's Mines was written by screenwriter Marco Schnabel based on characters created by David N. Titcher in the first movie.

Return to King Solomon's Mine can be watched as a stand-alone adventure movie, but Quest for the Spear does introduce Flynn Carsen character, explaining how he got the job as the Librarian, why his mom (Olympia Dukakis) keeps trying to hook him up with girls, how Flynn got to be so smart, and many other little things that make the second movie more understandable.

When Charlene (Jane Curtin) asks Judson why he didn't tell Flynn before letting him fly off to Casablanca, Judson explains that it is a lesson Flynn should learn on his own. As his search for the map and the map's legend progresses, Flynn discovers that his father was a member of the Brotherhood of the Masons, charged with protecting Solomon's secrets from ever getting into the hands of others. The duty is passed down from father to son, as is the Masonic amulet that Flynn's father claims he bought at a flea market, so it's now Flynn's duty to keep the secrets hidden.

Solomon [c.970 BC - 931 BC], also known in Hebrew as "Jedidiah" and in Arabic as "Sulayman", was the third king of Israel and the son of David. According to the Bible, they were ancestors of Jesus Christ. Solomon was credited with being wise, wealthy, and powerful.

The Key of Solomon, also referred to in the movie as The Book of Solomon, is a 14th or 15th century magical grimoire written during the Italian Renaissance and incorrectly attributed to King Solomon, who lived over 1,500 years earlier. However, there does exist a Book of Wisdom attributed to King Solomon and accepted as a chapter in some versions of the Bible. The Song of Solomon forms another book of the Bible in which two lovers describe their feelings of sexual intimacy with each other. King Solomon's mine is a recent addition to the mythology as an 1885 fictional novel, King Solomon's Mines, by English adventure writer Sir H. Rider Haggard.

Flynn having tossed the Book of Solomon into the pillar of fire, Uncle Jerry (Robert Foxworth) jumps in after it and is consumed. As flames and lava spread throughout the mine, Flynn, Emily, and Jomo (Hakeem Kae-Kazim) escape with their lives. Later, as Flynn is preparing to return to New York, he gives the amulet to Jomo and charges him with protecting King Solomon's secret. At the airport, Emily reveals to Flynn that she has decided to participate in another dig in Tunisia and won't be going with him but that she has faith that they will meet again. They share a final kiss, and Emily heads to her airplane. Flynn heads towards his plane and, in a scene reminiscent of the 1942 film classic Casablanca (1942), Flynn puts on his hat and says to himself, "Of all the gin joints in all the world, she had to walk into mine." In the final scene back in New York, Flynn returns to the Library where he hands over his receipts to Charlene and is told to itemize them next time. Flynn apologizes to Judson for destroying the book, but Judson reminds him that by destroying it and giving up the chance to see his father again, he sacrificed his need for the greater good, making him a "great librarian." In the final scene, Flynn asks Judson about his vision of him on the beach, and Judson replies, "I'm capable of a lot of things, but magically appearing in a vision on a beach flying a kite is not one of them," to which Flynn replies, "I didn't say anything about flying kites."

The movies in The Librarian series are most often described as a blend of action, comedy, and satire, "cheesy", and movies that are a lot of fun to watch but don't take themselves seriously. Those who have seen The Librarian movies often compare them to the movies in the Indiana Jones franchise, i.e., Os Caçadores da Arca Perdida (1981) (1981), Indiana Jones e o Templo da Perdição (1984) (1984), Indiana Jones e a Última Cruzada (1989) (1989), and Indiana Jones e o Reino da Caveira de Cristal (2008) (2008). Also similar are the movies in (1) the National Treasure series (A Lenda do Tesouro Perdido (2004) (2004) and its sequel A Lenda do Tesouro Perdido: Livro dos Segredos (2007) (2007)), (2) the Night at the Museum series (Uma Noite no Museu (2006) (2006), Uma Noite no Museu 2 (2009) (2009), and Uma Noite no Museu 3: O Segredo da Tumba (2014) (2016)), (3) the Romancing the Stone series (Tudo por uma Esmeralda (1984) (1984) and its sequel A Jóia do Nilo (1985) (1985)), and (4) The Mummy series (A Múmia (1999) (1999), O Retorno da Múmia (2001) (2001), and A Múmia: Tumba do Imperador Dragão (2008) (2008)), all of which provide the adventure, thrills, and "cheesiness" that are part of The Librarian movies. Although they are a bit more serious in tone, the Robert Langdon series (O Código Da Vinci (2006) (2006), Anjos e Demônios (2009) (2009) and Inferno (2016) (2016)) is also favorably compared. The Wizarding World movies (Harry Potter (2001-2011) and Fantastic Beasts (2016–)) as well as O Aprendiz de Feiticeiro (2010) (2010) may be of interest.
