This is one of my wife's all-time favorite movies, and we owned it in VHS but were delighted to learn it had been issued in DVD format! We bought it and are happy to now be able to enjoy it in crisper detail. The movie captures the mystery and allure of the Egyptian pyramids and their hidden treasures, woven through a story of greed and deceit clashing with strong Egyptian nationalism and academic purity. The "foreword" section of the movie conjectures how the pyramid's architect devised an ingenious way of foiling tomb robbers and heightens the tension between good and evil throughout the movie, and Frank Langella is awesome as the idealistic Egyptian native who strives to keep the hidden treasures safely in Egypt forever. A great story, an ingenious framing technique, breathtakingly beautiful photography, on-site, up-close views of great treasures of antiquity, high idealism, and good acting make this a very interesting and fascinating movie!Read full review
I have purchased this movie on Beta Max and VHS. Then on DVD. It's a family favorite. Had to buy a new DVD. Or precious DVD copy was lost.

I've been reading about Tuts Tomb, and remembered this movie. Putting The Valley of the Kings on the screen made it all come together.

I like movies about Egypt and I remember watching this movie before many years ago on t.v. I truly enjoy this movie. I like the characters in the movie too. Good quality.

Exactly as described. Very important to know which systems (USA or foreign) DVDs will play on before purchasing. Came in a reasonable time.
