About the film
Adventure is reborn.
What it’s about
Rick and Evelyn O'Connell, now married with an eight-year-old son named Alex, have left their adventurous past behind. Their quiet life is shattered when Imhotep, the mummy they once defeated, is brought back by a mysterious cult. The cult seeks the Bracelet of Anubis, which Alex unknowingly possesses, and Imhotep kidnaps the boy to claim its power. Rick and Evelyn must rescue their son and prevent the bracelet from awakening the Scorpion King's army.
What hooks you
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return as the adventurous couple, joined by John Hannah as Evelyn's brother Jonathan. The film received Saturn Award nominations for its special effects, makeup, and fantasy elements. The production famously shut down London's Tower Bridge for filming, a first in cinema history. Director Stephen Sommers makes a cameo appearance, and the character Izzy was named after his dog.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys fast-paced action set in exotic locations, with a mix of ancient curses and modern-day heroics. It will appeal to those who like family-centered adventure stories where the stakes are personal and the danger is constant.

Trivia
All facts 10
- Filming period: May 1 – September 29, 2000
- Before the double-decker bus reaches the bridge, it goes around the same corner twice.
- Pay attention to Izzy's teeth. They change three times throughout the film. In several scenes he is missing a pair of teeth, then you can see him with a single gold tooth, sometimes on the right side, sometimes on the left.
- In the scene where Rick and Jonathan are trapped in the bathroom at the O'Connell estate, if you look at the glass window before they jump out of it, the window glass looks smooth, but if you look at it right before the jump, you can see that the entire glass is already cracked.
- The fight at the O'Connell mansion was originally intended to take place in a casino owned by Jonathan, but the idea was abandoned for budget-saving reasons.
- For the first time in history, London's Tower Bridge was closed for the filming of a movie. Local authorities gave permission to close traffic for only 20 minutes, but even in that short period, traffic jams on nearby streets became so enormous that they caused numerous complaints and threats of arrest from the police. As a result, the time allotted to the film crew for closing the bridge was reduced to 10 minutes.
