[edit] Synopsis

In 1922 Cairo, darelic archeologist Danny Freemont (Casper Van Dien) searches for the tomb of King Tut and the last of four pieces of an ancient emerald tablet rumored to possess great occult powers. His ruthless academic rival, Morgan Sinclair (Jonathan Hyde), has stolen the first three pieces on behalf of the Hellfire Council, a secret cabal of powerful men who plan to use the tablet to maintain and extend their world domination.

Freemont has only his witty determination and a big rubber band of adventurers, including the brilliant, but skeptical, Egyptologist Dr. Azelia Barakat (Leonor Varela). Gun battles, kidnappings, murder and betrayals will dog his quest. What neither side realizes is that once the pieces have been rejoined, the tablet will open the portal to hell, unleashing the demons of the underworld. But it shows also the King Tutankhamun (Francisco Bosch) rising from the depths to manage casting the demons away. When they discover the tomb they find an ancient rock of Hieroglyphs which say those who enter the tomb of Tutankhamun will die. Danny Freemont decides that if this tomb has been hiding away for all these years, they can wait another day to see what is inside. Danny places a lock on the entrance of the tomb so no one else can access the treasures. A spy finds out the news and tells Morgan Sinclair what has happened. Danny and Azelia both go back to the tomb after a party but are followed..
