The O'Connells' old comrade, the Medjai warrior Ardeth Bay, arrives to help, but is unable to prevent Evie's kidnapping. Unfortunately, a group of Egyptian cultists, who had hired the three thugs, invades the O'Connell estate and kidnaps Evie. The family returns home to England, and unbeknownst to his parents, Alex tries on the bracelet and experiences a vision with directions to the Oasis of Ahm Shere. Evie and Rick discover the bracelet of Anubis, unaware that Alex has stumbled across a trio of mercenaries attempting to take the bracelet for themselves. The movie jumps to the year 1933, which finds the O'Connell family - Rick, Evelyn ("Evie") and their son Alex - exploring the ruins of Thebes. But once their task is finished, Anubis claims the Scorpion King's soul and his army. The Army of Anubis sweeps across Egypt, destroying everything in its path. The latter creates an oasis called Ahm Shere to hide the newly dubbed Scorpion King's pyramid and gives the latter a legion of humanoid jackal warriors to seek revenge. The latter offers his soul to the god Anubis for the power to defeat his enemies. He and his army is exiled to the desert of Ahm Sher, where most of them die from heat exhaustion, except for Mathayus. However, this flashback focused on an Egyptian mercenary named Mathayus, who makes an unsuccessful attempt to conquer the land. Like the first film, "THE MUMMY RETURNS" began thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt. In doing so, Sommers and Universal created a four-movie franchise. Two years later, both the director and the studio reunited its major stars for a sequel set a decade later. "THE MUMMY", the 1999 remake of the 1932 horror film proved to be a major success for filmmaker Stephen Sommers and Universal Studios.
