The sands rose, the heavens parted, and the power was unleashed... Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, The Mummy is the fantasy action-adventure film starring Brendan Fraser. Luke and Jae unearth this 1999 treasure which is a remake of the 1932 film of the same name. An expedition of treasure-seeking explorers made up of adventurer Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), a librarian (Rachel Weisz), and her older brother (John Hannah), travel to Hamunaptra where they unwittingly set loose a 3000-year-old legacy of terror, which is embodied in the vengeful reincarnation of Imhotep, a cursed high priest with supernatural powers.
