The Fast and the Furious director
Rob Cohen continues the tale set into motion by director
Stephen Sommers with this globe-trotting
adventure that finds explorer
Rick O'Connell and son attempting to thwart a resurrected emperor's (
Jet Li) plan to enslave the entire human race. It's been 2,000 years since China's merciless
Emperor Han and his formidable army were entombed in terra cotta clay by a double-dealing sorceress (
Michelle Yeoh), but now, after centuries in suspended animation, an ancient curse is about to be broken. Thanks to his childhood adventures alongside father
Rick (
Brendan Fraser) and mother
Evelyn (
Maria Bello), dashing young archeologist
Alex O'Connell (
Luke Ford) is more than familiar with the power of the supernatural. After he is tricked into awakening the dreaded emperor from his eternal slumber, however, the frightened young adventurer is forced to seek out the wisdom of his parents -- both of whom have had their fair share of experience battling the legions of the undead. Should the fierce monarch prove capable of awakening his powerful terra cotta army, his diabolical plan for world domination will finally be set into motion. Of course, the one factor that this emperor mummy failed to consider while solidifying his power-mad plans was the O'Connells, and before this battle is over, the monstrous monarch will be forced to contend with the one family that isn't frightened by a few rickety reanimated corpses.
