Skip it. This 2001 Angelina Jolie vehicle is a clunky, over-the-top video game adaptation that mistakes globe-trotting spectacle for actual storytelling—the plot is a generic McGuffin hunt with zero chemistry and an laughably convoluted time-control premise. Unless you're specifically chasing early-2000s camp nostalgia or Jolie's cultural icon status, there are way better action-adventure films competing for your attention tonight.

Plot

Orphaned heiress, English aristocrat and intrepid archaeologist, Lara Croft, embarks on a dangerous quest to retrieve the two halves of an ancient artifact which controls time before it falls into the wrong hands. As an extremely rare planetary alignment is about to occur for the first time in 5,000 years, the fearless tomb raider will have to team up with rival adventurers and sworn enemies to collect the pieces, while time is running out. But, in the end, who can harness the archaic talisman's unlimited power?
