The Mummy (2017) is a supernatural action-adventure film that reboots the classic Universal Monsters franchise. Starring Tom Cruise, the movie follows U.S. soldier and treasure hunter Nick Morton, who accidentally unearths the ancient tomb of Princess Ahmanet, a vengeful Egyptian princess who was buried alive for her dark ambitions.
As Ahmanet awakens, she unleashes a deadly curse upon the world, choosing Nick as her vessel for the god of death, Set. Pursued by a secret organization led by Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe), Nick must battle terrifying supernatural forces while struggling with his own destiny.
Blending intense action, horror, and mythology, The Mummy takes audiences on a high-stakes adventure through ancient tombs, eerie catacombs, and modern-day London. Despite its grand visuals and thrilling sequences, the film received mixed reviews for its uneven tone and attempts to set up a larger “Dark Universe” of interconnected monster movies. However, it remains an exciting watch for fans of action-packed fantasy and supernatural horror.
