## Summary

The 1999 film *The Mummy*, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, is available to watch for free on YouTube. Its renewed availability comes as a new sequel, *The Mummy: The Book of the Dead*, moves into production, bringing several original cast members back.

Set in 1920s Egypt, the adventure follows Rick O’Connell, librarian and Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan, and her brother Jonathan as they search for the lost city of Hamunaptra. The film’s brisk action, humour and romance helped it become a gateway to the genre for many viewers, despite mixed reviews on release; Roger Ebert gave it three out of four stars. The sequel is scheduled for late 2027 and is directed by Radio Silence.
