The Curse of King Tut's Tomb
USA, 2006  TV  

Leonor Varela, Casper Van Dien, Malcolm McDowell
Directed by Russell Mulcahy

  

Thousands of years ago, the great child king Tutankhamen ruled. Few know the details of his life—no one knows the secrets of his death. All that is about to change. It’s 1922, and free-spirited archaeologist Danny Freemont is infamous for his outlandish theories about the pyramids, Atlantis, alien civilizations, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. He may enliven the lectures at Cairo University, but he certainly infuriates serious Egyptologists like the beautiful Dr. Azelia Barakat —especially when it comes to his speculations about the life and death of Tutankhamen. Freemont is certain that if found, the Emerald Tablet, rumoured to be buried in Tut’s tomb, would hold the power to control the world. (source: Hallmark Entertainment)
