The adventure film featuring a quest is a staple of the movies, particularly during the summer season. We’ve seen the formula time and again over the years, from Indiana Jones to National Treasure. And yet we remain captivated by these series.

Just in time for Memorial Day weekend, we’re getting another of these adventure stories. Fountain of Youth, which streams on Apple TV+ this weekend, comes from director Guy Ritchie and, as the name suggests, features a quest for an iconic historical myth. But is it worth going on this adventure? Let’s dive in.

The film centers on a pair of siblings—Luke (John Krasinski) and Charlotte (Natalie Portman)—who are a bit estranged. They grew up with an adventure-loving father, and they used to partake in those adventures. While Luke still does, working with the same team, Charlotte moved on to a museum job and a family. But as we begin our journey, that family is falling apart.

Now, Luke returns with a request that she join him on a new quest. A billionaire (Domhnall Gleeson) with health issues has tapped Luke and his team to find the Fountain of Youth. If it really exists, it will require a lot of effort to find it. Luke wants Charlotte’s help, but also just wants her to embrace a life of adventure again.

At first, Charlotte is hesitant. But when their new backer offers to help her with her legal troubles as she tries to get custody of her son, Charlotte reluctantly joins the journey. But it ends up going in directions neither of them ever expected.

This is a familiar formula, matching some of the plot points of these kind of adventure films, including films like the classic 1999 version of The Mummy. The script comes from James Vanderbilt and features a fun enough adventure with a lot of humor. Ritchie does a nice job of crafting action sequences and fun set pieces around these characters and this journey.

What really helps it hum along is the cast. Krasinski in particular is a lot of fun in this role. He brings that wry sense of humor that made him such a hit on The Office to this part. He and Portman have a good rapport, but he also has some fun rapport with Eiza Gonzales, who plays an agent charged with protecting the secret of the fountain.

This is a deep cast—including Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci—that are deployed well to craft a fun journey. There are great moments of humor and some fun action sequences. I also liked several set pieces, including a sunken ship that is raised to the surface and the discovery of a secret chamber in the Pyramids as well.

For these types of films to work you need fun characters, a fun journey, and a bit of adventure. This film has all those elements and they come together in a satisfying way. I’d be happy to watch a few more of these with this great cast and winning formula. This is worth a stream this holiday weekend.

Fountain of Youth is streaming on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, May 23.
