- The One Ring in The Lord of the Rings (2001) The Lord of the Rings was written by J. R. R. Tolkien in the 1950s, but it was Peter Jackson's illustrious movie adaptation that brought the epic story of The One Ring to visual life.
- The Briefcase in Pulp Fiction (1994) Pulp Fiction is one of the most oft-cited movies when it comes to the MacGuffin. Quentin Tarantino's crime drama famously implements a MacGuffin that viewers never actually get to see, which is probably why we find it so intriguing...
- Rosebud in Citizen Kane (1941) Rosebud is one of the most famous, sacred, and ultimately pointless MacGuffins in cinema history. Orson Welles flexes his talent for smart, thought-provoking filmmaking with Citizen Kane, and his use of the MacGuffin is a large element in that.
- The Rug in The Big Lebowski (1998) We love this MacGuffin because it's so stupid and yet so funny. The Big Lebowski is a cult classic stoner-flick that became so popular that it even sparked its own religion.

On the surface, the search for the missing map piece to find where Luke Skywalker was hiding in The Force Awakenshas nothing wrong with it. It moves the plot forward and helps to bring all of our characters, new and old alike, together to rally around one specific cause. However, when the missing piece is finally discovered, that's where the signif...
As viewers eventually learned, the Aether in Thor: The Dark World is actually the Reality Stone, which the main villain in the film, Malekith, uses to darken the universe. Yes, the entire plot of Thor: The Dark World is driven by a device that's used to make everywhere eternally nighttime. That fact by itself is enough to make the Aether land on th...
For a movie that's all about secret societies and assassins with incredible abilities, you would think that they would have some kind of high-tech way of finding their targets, right? Well, in Wanted, these assassins are given their targets from a giant, magical loom. These assassins use a machine that was invented all the way back in Ancient China...
Despite being a wildly popular franchise that has spawned five movies over the course of its existence, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest still has one of the most infamous MacGuffins in recent memory. The titular Dead Man's Chest is the centerpiece of the movie, with multiple people hunting it down to gain control of Davy Jones's heart. C...
Taking away the voice of an iconic comedian such as Eddie Murphy can't really help your movie in any way, and the Bodhi tree in A Thousand Words is to blame for that. Receiving a whopping zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes, A Thousand Words follows a smooth-talking literary agent Jack McCall, played by Eddie Murphy, when a Bodhi tree mysteriously appe...
One of the most obvious MacGuffins in the simplest sense of the word, we don't even know what the Rabbit's Foot does for most of Mission: Impossible III as it is only there to move the plot of the film along. All we know is that the villain of the film, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, wants it, and Ethan Hunt and company must do whatever they can...
The Transformers series is no stranger to MacGuffins, but the Matrix of Leadership in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallenis the worst of them all by far. Not only does the Matrix of Leadership feel like a rehash of the Allspark from the movie before it, it has a pretty ridiculous name as well, even if that name was used in the old cartoons that the...
Okay, we all know how bad Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was. Coming out nearly 20 years after a movie as great as The Last Crusade, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had big shoes to fill both as a movie and with its MacGuffin, as the Holy Grail is one of the best and most iconic MacGuffins to make it onto the big screen. Unfortunat...
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is widely acclaimed for its grounded take on the Caped Crusader as well as for its various villains throughout each film. Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Bane, Ra's al Ghul, and more help bring this trilogy to life along with Christian Bale's incredible performance as Bruce Wayne. While this trilogy is grounded i...
Finally, another infamous MacGuffin that was used to push a film's plot into motion, we have the Mother Boxes from Justice League. Despite the fact that the film claims the Mother Boxes are really dangerous and have the capability to destroy planets, it never really feels like it. They don't really feel that important at all, and feel like they exi...
