Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

A pale imitation to INDIANA JONES, THE MUMMY is still stupid, pulpy fun. Obviously, Brendan Fraser is extremely miscast here as he tries on his best Harrison Ford impersonation.

Overall, THE MUMMY is a harmless action film trying to channel the 80s sense of fun.
