SYNOPSIS:
In 1290 B.C., an ancient Egyptian curse is bestowed upon an evil high priest for his unholy acts. Condemned to endure all eternity sealed in his sarcophagus in Hamunaptra, his still living, mummified body lies dormant, waiting to be discovered. Should the Mummy be released from his tomb, he will arise with a plague upon mankind, with the strength of the ages, power over the sands and the glory of immortality. 3,000 years later, dashing Legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) saves himself from imprisonment and certain death when he reveals knowledge he discovered years earlier as to the location of the now ruins of Hamunaptra. Joined by a beautiful Egyptologist (Rachel Weisz) and her brother, the journey to find the legendary riches buried beneath the sands take the unlikely trio down the Nile, across the treacherous expanse of the Sahara, and to an encounter with a malevolent force whose power defies imagination.
