Storyline

Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara recruits Terry Sheridan, a British marine turned mercenary (and her former love interest) to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb... Written by Gavin Nelson

Trivia

In the scene where Lara Croft and partner jump off a building wearing "flying suits", called wingsuits, the stunt was performed by the two men who developed the suits. No CGI, wires, nets, or other SFX were involved. This suit was invented by Patrick de Gayardon, who died in a parachute accident in April 1998 while testing a new type of parachute in Hawaii.

Goofs

Continuity: When Lara is fighting the guy where all the terracotta warriors are, she throws two sticks at him pinning him to a large crate. The crate can not be seen at all while they are running through the warriors. The crate appears in the background and gets closer with each scene. He isn't standing directly in front of it, until the sticks are thrown. See more »

Jimmy Petraki: They found another one. There's going to be no treasure left by the time she gets here.
