SYNOPSIS

Set in Egypt, where over 3,000 years ago the high priest Imhotep was given  the  all-important  assignment of preparing the recently dead for
their journey into the  afterlife.  However,  Imhotep  made  one  terrible
mistake  --  he became smitten with Anck-Su-Namun, the mistress of
the Pharaoh himself. Driven mad   by   jealousy   and   love,   Imhotep
murdered the Pharaoh, and his punishment was to be buried alive and suffer  the  torment  of  an eternal life in his wretched tomb. In 1925, a
band of adventurers seeking fame and fortune -- led by Rick O'Connel, an American expatriate who has joined the foreign legion, and  Evelyn
Carnarvon, an amateur archeologist -- find a previously unknown burial site  in  Egypt.  The  team starts to dig, hoping to find lost riches, but
instead they disturb the tomb of Imhotep, and soon the cursed  priest
rises from his grave to wreck vengeance on humanity.
