This big-budget sequel from writer/director
Stephen Sommers navigates much of the same cliffhanger territory as
George Lucas and
Steven Spielberg's
Indiana Jones franchise. It is 1933, eight years after the events of
The Mummy (1999). Legionnaire Rick O'Connell
Brendan Fraser has married his Egyptologist girlfriend Evelyn Carnahan (
Rachel Weisz) and the couple has settled in London, where they're raising their young son Alex (
Freddie Boath). The family's domestic tranquility is shattered when the 3,000-year-old mummified corpse of Imhotep (
Arnold Vosloo), which has been shipped to the British Museum, is resurrected once again to resume his evil quest for immortality. In the meantime, another ancient threat emerges in the form of the Scorpion King (professional wrestler
Dwayne Johnson, aka.
the Rock), a mighty warrior frozen in time with his supernatural army. In order to save his family, Rick is forced to seek a mythical pyramid of gold, facing marauding bands of pygmy skeletons, among other hazards.
The Mummy Returns co-stars
John Hannah,
Oded Fehr, and
Patricia Velasquez.
