A group of archaeologists in search of treasure, ignore the legend of Talos - the bloodthirsty evil sorcerer buried there, break the seal of his tomb, and release the evil power. Every man vanishes without trace. Fifty years later, with the help of the logbook, the grand daughter of the head archaeologist sets out with a team to retrace his steps. She discovers the tomb, recovers a sacred amulet, but once again unwittingly unleashes the evil power in the tomb. With the help of a detective, she races against time to stop Talos from gaining immortal power.
The film (dubbed in Tamil) may not be as spectacular as 'The Mummy', but it does have its exciting moments and some engaging special effects.
