More details about The Mummy and where you can watch

Although inspired by Universal’s classic 1932 monster film, The Mummy was reimagined as a fast-paced action-adventure inspired by classic serials and treasure-hunting films. Much of the movie was filmed in Morocco, where the cast endured intense desert heat and frequent sandstorms. The blend of practical effects, large-scale sets, and groundbreaking CGI helped the film age remarkably well, making it a favorite among fans more than two decades after its release. Its massive success launched a blockbuster franchise that included sequels and spin-offs.
