Story Overview

After first appearing on screen in 1932, The Mummy stories earned a lasting place in cinema and returned after a long break in 1999 under the direction of Stephen Sommers. Years later, Universal Studios revived the original film with a reboot, choosing Andrés Muschietti as director and Billy Ray and Jon Spaiths as screenwriters.

Buried for centuries beneath a forgotten desert, an ancient tomb is discovered and opened during a military operation, awakening the spirit of an ancient queen whose life was taken too soon. Rising into the modern world with centuries of growing rage, she is determined to dominate humanity and exact revenge for the wrongs done to her.
