In 1,719 B.C. in the Egyptian city of Thebes, a forbidden love between the evil high priest Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namum, the Pharoah’s mistress is exposed. When Anck-Su-Namum takes her own life, Imhotep’s subsequent act of desperation in Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, defies the gods. For his unholy acts, he is given the ultimate curse – his mummified body will remain undead for all eternity – a torturous existence, but one that will cease should his rotting corpse ever be released. As Imhotep's screams of pain from within the sarcophagus grow muffled while he is lowered into the earth, the curse is set in motion, and his evil, vengeful heart lays beating in the dark, growing stronger and stronger. Universal Pictures presents an Alphaville Production of The Mummy, starring Brendan Fraser (Blast From The Past).

The Mummy also stars Rachel Weisz (Swept From The Sea), John Hannah (Sliding Doors), Arnold Vosloo (Hard Target) and Kevin J. O’Connor (Deep Rising). Adrian Biddle (Aliens) serves as director of photography, with Allan Cameron (Starship Troopers) as production designer, Bob Ducsay (Deep Rising) as editor and John Bloomfield (Waterworld) as costume designer.
