Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon) transports us to the wild days of early Twentieth Century Paris, where feisty young writer Adele Blanc Sec embarks on thrilling missions to find exciting material for her book. She sails to Egypt to raid a tomb that supposedly hides a cure for her sick sister, but what will she do when an army of resurrected mummies get in the way? Back in Paris she finds the city in chaos after a 136 million year old pterodactyl egg mysteriously hatches. Adele realises she is the only one game enough to take control of the prehistoric bird.
