As an extremely rare planetary alignment is about to occur for the first time in 5,000 years, the fearless tomb raider will have to team up with rival adventurers and sworn enemies to collect the pieces, while time is running out. But, in the end, who can harness the archaic talisman's unlimited power? Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is a 2001 American action adventure directed by Simon West. Angelina Jolie stars as Lara Croft, an aristocratic, dual-pistol-wielding archaeologist-adventurer who must stop the Illuminati from assembling an ancient artifact called the Triangle of Light that grants its possessor the power to control time. Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Lara Croft was one of the most successful video game character adaptations of its era — her physical commitment to the role's athletic demands, combined with her natural screen presence and the aristocratic confidence she brought to the character, made her a convincing live-action Lara.

The film featured elaborate action sequences in Angkor Wat, Iceland, and a lavish English manor. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider earned $274 million worldwide on a $115 million budget and established a franchise. The film demonstrated the enduring appeal of its franchise to global audiences and solidified its place in modern blockbuster cinema history.
