Discover the centuries-old secrets of
King Tutankhamen as two archaeologists race to recover the sacred object with the power to save the world, or destroy it, in this globe-trotting
adventure starring
Casper Van Dien,
Jonathan Hyde, and
Leonor Varela, and directed by
action veteran
Russell Mulcahy (
Highlander). The year is 1922, and
Danny Freemont (
Van Dien) is an archeologist whose outlandish theories about the pyramids, Atlantis, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead have made him something of an outcast in the scientific community. Perhaps no one is more critical of
Freemont's unconventional approach to archeology than
Dr. Azelia Barakat (
Varela), a serious-minded Egyptologist who scoffs at her free-spirited colleague's ideas about
King Tutankhamen's mythical tomb. When
Freemont determines that the Emerald Tablet rumored to be buried with the Egyptian king will provide its owner with the power to rule the world,
Dr. Barakat's curiosity soon trumps her skepticism and the pair quickly set up a team of experts to locate the tomb and find the tablet. Despite
Freemont and
Dr. Barakat's noble intentions, their efforts to locate and protect the Emerald Tablet threaten to backfire as nefarious archeologist
Morgan Sinclair (
Hyde) tracks their every move in hopes of beating them to the prize and using the treasure to unleash the ultimate evil. Now, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the race to uncover one of history's greatest mysteries is on, and it's going to be a wild ride.
