The Mummy: Resurrection (2025) is a high-octane action-adventure film that reboots the classic mummy franchise with a modern twist. The story begins in present-day Egypt, where Dr. Lara Bennett (Gal Gadot), a renowned archaeologist, uncovers a hidden tomb beneath the sands near Luxor. Unbeknownst to her, the tomb is the resting place of the ancient warlord Seti-Ra, whose soul was cursed to wander for eternity.
Dwayne Johnson plays Jack Carter, a former special forces operative turned treasure hunter, who is hired by a mysterious benefactor to retrieve a legendary artifact from the tomb. Keanu Reeves stars as Dr. Marcus Vale, a historian with a dark past and secret ties to the ancient order sworn to keep Seti-Ra imprisoned.
As Lara, Jack, and Marcus descend into the tomb, they inadvertently trigger a series of deadly traps and awaken Seti-Ra’s spirit. The mummy, resurrected with terrifying powers, seeks to reclaim his lost kingdom and unleash chaos upon the modern world. The trio must navigate shifting alliances, ancient prophecies, and supernatural threats as they race against time to stop Seti-Ra’s resurrection ritual.
The climax sees an epic battle in the heart of Cairo, where Jack and Lara combine their skills and Marcus’s knowledge to outwit Seti-Ra. In a dramatic twist, Marcus sacrifices himself to seal the mummy’s spirit, but not before revealing his true identity as the last guardian of the order. The film ends with Lara and Jack vowing to protect the world from other ancient threats, setting up potential sequels.
