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
