The year is 1923. A soldier in the French Foreign Legion stumbles into an archaeological dig and his sense of adventure and greed get the better of him. The dig involves an Egyptian priest, Imhotep, who was supposedly mummified alive and cursed as punishment for sleeping with Pharoah Seti's mistress. Imhotep is disturbed and returns to life with eye-popping and savage powers. The film has thrilling visual effects, Fraser plays his role with verve and good humor, and Weisz is terrifically lively and attractive. A real hoot!

In the 1930's a young treasure hunter finds love and adventure while trying to stop a revived Egyptian mummy from taking over the world. Highly recommended exciting horror/comedy/adventure.
