When an archaeological expedition opens an ancient Egyptian tomb, the unimaginable evil of a cursed pharaoh-Talos - is unleashed! But before all are lost, team leader Sir Richard Turkel (horror legend Christopher Lee,Dracula) heroically sacrifices his own life to destroy the tomb and contain Talos once more. Then, year later, Sir Richard's granddaughter (Louise Lombard) sets out with her own team to finish her grandfather's work...not knowing that she herself is about to reawaken the supernatural terror of the mummified Talos. Also starring action star Jason Scott Lee (Rudyard Kipling's, The Jungle Book), the heart-pounder Russell Mulcahy's Tale of the Mummy tells us that this time, there may be nothing that can stop the mummy's murderous quest for immortality.
