Bu film haqqında

Lesley-Anne Down (Upstairs Downstairs), Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon) and John Gielgud (Arthur) star in this occult-tinged thriller based on the best seller by Robin Cook (Coma, Outbreak). Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton), Sphinx bristles with peril and shines with the eye-dazzling landmarks of ancient Egypt -- as well as a close up look at the lavish treasures of Tutankhamen, filmed with special permission. A determined young anthropologist (Down) has come across a clue leading to a long-forgotten royal tomb. And pays no mind to the notion that Egypt's last undiscovered treasure may carry a curse -- and perhaps that there may be some black marketeers eager to sustain the illusion of such a curse...in a fashion as terrifying as any scary ancient legend.

I admit to being partial to this film. I've seen it 30+ times in almost 40 yrs. The acting is good, the cinematography is great, music great, casting great & story line great. It has suspense, romance, and Egyptian artifacts that closely resemble the real thing. My only complaint is Lesley-Anne Downs screams or crying which seems too much.

I enjoyed this film tremendously and have watched it at least 3 times over the years, never been disappointed. Great cast all around and it has a great surprise ending.

Great acting! Thanks to the 80's. Actors were more natural.
