The Scorpion
King is a bone-crunching action flick starring the World
Wrestling
Federation champion known as The Rock, who plays a legendary warrior
fighting
against evil tyrants in the Middle East of 5,000 years ago.
His motto is 'Live free,
die well' and most of the cast do the latter. Scripted
and produced by Stephen
Sommers, it's a spin-off from his The Mummy and
The Mummy Returns and is
directed with brisk efficiency by Chuck Russell.
Summary:
An evil ruler tries to destroy the tribes of the desert with
the help of a
sorceress. The tribes unite and send a warrior to kill her.
With:
Dwayne Johnson, Kelly Hu, Michael Clarke Duncan, Steven
Brand, The
Rock
Directed
by: Chuck
Russell
