What is The Mummy about?
“Deep in the Egyptian desert, a handful of people searching for a long-lost treasure have just unearthed a 3,000 year old legacy of terror,” the synopsis reads. “Combining the thrills of a rousing adventure with the suspense of Universal’s legendary 1932 horror classic, The Mummy, starring Brendan Fraser, is a true nonstop action epic, filled with dazzling visual effects, top-notch talent and superb storytelling.”
The Mummy is directed and written by Stephen Sommers, who also made 1998’s Deep Rising, 2004’s Van Helsing, 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and, most recently, 2013’s Odd Thomas.
Along with Fraser, the fan-favorite film stars Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan, John Hannah as Jonathan Carnahan, Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep, and Kevin J. O’Connor as Beni Gabor.
The Mummy was a huge hit for Universal Pictures at the time of its releasing, making approximately $416.4 million at the global box office off an estimated budget of $80 million. It was followed by two direct sequels, 2001’s The Mummy Returns (also directed by Sommers) and 2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
The Scorpion King, a spin-off following Dwayne Johnson’s character from The Mummy Returns, also came in 2002. The Scorpion King was followed by four straight-to-home movies — 2008’s The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, 2012’s The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption, 2015’s The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power, and 2018’s The Scorpion King: Book of Souls.
The Mummy returns to AMC Theatres on April 26, 2024. The film is also available to rent or purchase on digital streaming services such as Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and more.
