The Mummy
In present-day London, construction workers discover the tomb of a crusader knight who was buried with an Egyptian ruby(a MacGuffin), in 1127 AD. In present-day Iraq, U.S. Army soldiers Sergeant Nick Morton and Corporal Chris Vail discover the tomb of Princess Ahmanet, who attempted to summon the deity Set; she was caught and mummified alive. They and archaeologist Jenny Halsey fly Ahmanet's sarcophagus to Britain. During the flight, Chris is possessed by Ahmanet, attacks the others, and is killed by Nick. A large number of crows attack the plane, which crashes killing everyone except Jenny, who escapes by parachute...
