The Mummy 5: Resurrection (2025) revives Universal’s monster saga, with archaeologist Jack Harlan (Dwayne Johnson) unearthing a cursed tomb in modern Cairo. Partnered with immortal guardian Elias Kane (Keanu Reeves), Jack awakens Imhotep (Sofia Boutella), whose resurrection amulet unleashes sandstorm plagues and scarab swarms. Linguist Riley (Megan Fox) deciphers hieroglyphs tying Imhotep to a cult seeking eternal life, led by a shadowy priest (Luke Evans cameo). The plot races from Giza’s crumbling pyramids to London’s underground, with Nile speedboat chases dodging hippo guardians and British Museum sieges battling booby-trapped relics.

Flashbacks reveal Jack’s guilt over a mentor’s death, paralleling Elias’ cursed immortality, while Riley’s artifact-smuggling past sparks betrayal. Subplots entwine the cult’s global reach, manipulating governments to fuel Imhotep’s dominion. A mid-film crypt flood traps the trio, forcing Elias to confront his past sins. The climax erupts in the Sphinx’s heart, where Jack wields the amulet against Imhotep’s sandstorm avatar, sacrificing Elias to seal the curse. The narrative blends ancient lore with modern spectacle, though CGI-heavy plagues overwhelm character arcs. Johnson’s brawny heroism drives, Reeves’ stoic wisdom chills, Fox’s wit sparks, and Boutella’s seductive menace captivates. A thrilling reboot for fans, it honors the franchise’s roots while innovating horrors, despite expository bloat.
