The Mummy

The Mummy

The sands will rise. The heavens will part. The power will be unleashed.

1999124 min7.0 / 10

A swashbuckling adventure romp through 1920s Egypt that balances supernatural thrills with witty banter, romantic tension, and a treasure-hunt plot driven by charm and spectacle rather than darkness.

Dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell stumbles upon the hidden ruins of Hamunaptra while in the midst of a battle to claim the area in 1920s Egypt. It has been over three thousand years since former High Priest Imhotep suffered a fate worse than death as a punishment for a forbidden love—along with a curse that guarantees eternal doom upon the world if he is ever awoken.
