In The Mummy: Resurrection, a new chapter unfolds in the legendary saga of ancient curses, lost tombs, and undead horror. Set years after the events of The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001), this film brings back the spirit of classic adventure with a modern twist.When an ancient artifact is unearthed beneath the shifting sands of Egypt, an expedition led by ambitious archaeologist Dr. Evelyn Carter stumbles upon a long-forgotten tomb. Inside, they find an ancient sarcophagus inscribed with warnings in a lost dialect, one that predates even the rule of the pharaohs. Ignoring the warnings, they take the sarcophagus to Cairo for further study.Unbeknownst to them, they have awakened Nefer-Ra, a sorceress-queen who was erased from history for attempting to defy the gods themselves. Unlike previous mummies, Nefer-Ra is no mindless monster—she is cunning, vengeful, and determined to reclaim her lost power by resurrecting an army of the dead.
As supernatural disasters begin striking across Egypt—sandstorms infused with dark magic, plagues of locusts, and entire cities disappearing overnight—the world realizes that an ancient force has returned. Enter Rick O’Connell Jr., the son of the famous adventurer Rick O’Connell, now a reluctant historian trying to escape his family’s past. He is forced into action when he learns that the resurrection of Nefer-Ra is tied to a lost artifact hidden by his ancestors.With time running out, Rick Jr. and Evelyn must join forces with a rogue treasure hunter, an exiled Medjay warrior, and a mysterious priestess who holds the key to stopping Nefer-Ra. Their journey takes them from the ruins of Luxor to the hidden temples of Sudan, battling cursed creatures, ancient traps, and a secret cult devoted to the sorceress’s return.As Nefer-Ra’s army grows stronger, her ultimate goal is revealed: she seeks to unleash Apep, the Serpent of Chaos, an entity that could consume the world in eternal darkness. To stop her, Rick Jr. and his allies must face a climactic battle in the heart of an underground necropolis, where the boundary between the living and the dead is thinnest.
