I realize the title is getting annoying and overused, but that's what I am doing. It's a Johnny Thunder film, and I need an object that he is searching for. It should be connected to religion, but it doesn't have to be, and it should be of great power or importance. I originally had him searching for the blood diamond, then four elemental diamonds. (I came up with both ideas before I had heard of the term "Brickfilm." 
)
I don't really understand why the title says "working on an epic film idea"
Is it supposed to be set in the jungle? Or in the desert?
All over the place, but mostly the desert. It's an Indiana Jones style film. There will be some mention of Dr. Jones.
I would come up with characters that you made up. There are just so many LEGO indiana jones type films.
It should be connected
to some kind of religion
or maybe not at all
should be of great importance
There's an object that you're looking for
but you don't know what it is...
do you...
Dr. Jones?
Hmm... I know you said mostly in the desert, but I somehow thought of the Sahara desert which let me to think of the Dead Sea which led me to think of the Dead Sea Scrolls. That's a possibility?
If you want to keep in the flavor with the rest of Johnny Thunder's adventures, then make it something tongue-in-cheek.
Like "The Horn of Africa", or something similar. 
Horn of Africa , Lego horn1, Lego horn2
You could do something with "The spear of destiny".
The story goes that the spear used by a roman soldier to stab Jesus when he was on the cross. It apparently fell into the hands of Hitler at the beginning of WWII. When some guy called General Patton found the spear in a bunker under Nuremberg and realized what it was, Hitler, at that very moment, committed suicide. The US get the spear and then becomes the new world power.
And the spear actually exists too. It is kept in Vienna, Austria. You can find out more here: http://petragrail.tripod.com/spear.html
Interesting, I like the "Spear of Destiny." Do you know where they found it in 1938?

Some website said:
Like most holy relics, the history of the Spear of Destiny is complex and difficult to authenticate.
So guess that means you can just make most of it up.
What about Pandora's box? You could make it that the Nazis were searching for this to release the powere within the box to try and concer the world.
D-Day at Omaha Beach.
I completely agree with BertL

well Tie in medieval history and biblical events and you will be fine.
the wild west, medieval events, biblical history, and monkeys...
that would be the best film of all time.
Hell YEAS!
You may want to PM Badger about using the ideas created for the ill-fated community project Adventure. The concept was a lot like what it sounds like you're working on. We had been working on a script for a couple of months and actually got pretty far on it, but eventually scrapped it due to lack of interest and because it wasn't particularly community friendly.
Either that or the biblical western knight monkeys thing. That sounds awesome, too. 
How about the quest for the "Knife of Souls"?
When the Knife kills someone, their soul enters the knife, making each kill more painful than the last!
How do you even categorize a film as epic?
