Plot
A long time ago in the year 1290 B.C, In the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Seti I rules as pharaoh. The two love one another more than life itself, Imhotep and Anck-Su-namun kill the Pharaoh after he discovers their affair. Imhotep flees, while Anck-su-namun kills herself, believing that Imhotep would be able to resurrect her. Imhotep and his priests steal her corpse and travel to Hamunaptra, the city of the dead, Imhotep's priests are all mummified alive, while Imhotep is sentenced to suffer the Hom Dai; the worst of Egyptian curses: The priest's tongue is ritualistically cut out, and he is bound tight in wrappings, placed in a sarcophagus which is filled with flesh-eating scarab beetles. As the scarabs slowly eat Imhotep alive, the lid is placed over the sarcophagus and sealed with a key resembling a puzzle-box. The Medjai and their descendants vow from that time on to watch over the city's ruins so that none might find either Imhotep or the means to bring him back to life, for if he should be revived, all mankind would be doomed. Many years later, in 1923, during the battle of Hamunaptra, the ruins of the Medjai still exist, becoming a furtive secret society over the years with the same goal as they did centuries ago: to ensure that none finds the buried Imhotep. Rick O'Connell, an American serving as a corporal in the Legion, has been promoted once the leader of the garrison, Colonel Guizot, deserts the ruins on horseback, leaving his men on their own. O'Connell leads his fellow Legionnaires into successfully bringing down many Tuaregs, but as the battle wages on, the Tuaregs kill off more and more Legionnaires until only O'Connell himself and another Legionnaire, a man named Beni Gabor, survive. The Tuaregs chase him into a corner, but can't fire, as their horses are frightened off by something within the sand; with this, the Tuaregs leave Hamunaptra, leaving O'Connell alone to face whatever is in the sand, until the movements in the sand drive him off as well.

Three years later in 1926, at the Cairo Museum of Antiquities, a young aspiring Egyptologist by the name of Evelyn Carnahan is given an artifact by her brother Jonathan Carnahan; the object is similar to a puzzle-box and clicks open to reveal eight different-shaped edges and a map made of papyrus. Jonathan reveals he stole the box from an American adventurer, Rick O'Connell, who discovered the city three years earlier while in the French Foreign Legion. Evelyn and Jonathan find Rick and make a deal with him to lead them to the city. Dr. Terence Bey, who dismisses the box and the map inside as nothing more than fakes. Upon examining the box, however, the three scholars learn that the box was actually the key to Hamunaptra and that the map within must be real. The curator idly holds the map for a moment and inadvertently brushes the paper against a small candle on his desk. One night, on one voyage, Sudan left Giza Port with several passengers aboard that they're searching for the Lost City of the Dead, Hamunaptra; none of these passengers divulged their mission, except to one another when asked about it due to a wager, suddenly a battle broke out on the riverboat, which ignites the flames on the riverboat, causing Rick, Eve and most of the group escape from the firing riverboat. The next day, Rick, Eve and the group travels through a safari desert to find a lost city of Hamunaptra throughout the entire day, until the early next day, they spotted another group and they encounter Beni and his employers, now with three dozen diggers in their midst. Both groups pause for a moment as the sun rises, and Hamunaptra suddenly appears magically, and the whole group runs to the lost city of the dead, and they eventually jumped into an unground chamber.

They searched a light and goes into a hallway, suddenly, they hear a strange sound, which it comes instead of face-to-face with the rival group who ar Meanwhile, but during the opening the statue, suddenly a torrent of salt acid shoots out at the three diggers, killing them. Meanwhile, Jonathan manages, by accident, to find a compartment where a sarcophagus is stored, releasing a large stone coffin. Meanwhile, Warden took out all of the scarabs, unfortunately, a scarab moves, and he goes into his skin and eats its way up the Warden's skin to his head. The other three examine the sarcophagus that has fallen from the ceiling, and deduce that the puzzle box that had been the cause of the Medjai attack on the riverboat is the key to opening the sarcophagus. That night, the three were having a camp, until O'Connell is confronted by the Medjai leader, Ardeth Bay, who disarms O'Connell of his gun before O'Connell rushes backward and lights a stick of dynamite, holding it out to show the Medjai chieftain that he will not give in so easily, and the Medjai chieftain decides to call off his warriors, telling the expeditionary to present that they will shed no more blood, but that they must leave the ruins or die. The next day, the Americans and their diggers returning to the compartment at the base of the statue, where they extract a wooden chest. As the three Americans step forward to pry the chest open, the Egyptologist informs them that the chest has a curse placed upon it,
