Sequel to the 1999 swashbuckling Eqyptology adventure. Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evie (Rachel Weisz), the stars of the orginal film, have now settled down to married life in London with their 8-year-old son Alex. Meanwhile, the British museum is playing host to the corpse of Imhotep, the mummy which had previously given Rick and Evie such a hard time. When ancient magic brings Imhotep back to life, a chain of events is set in motion that will lead to the end of the world, thus forcing Rick and Evie to dust-off their mummy-defeating skills once again.
