Mummies Alive!

In ancient Egypt, a young Pharaoh named Amenhotep is attacked by his jealous uncle, Scarab. To protect him, the High Priest Ja-Kal uses a powerful amulet to embalm Amenhotep and his loyal friends, turning them into mummies with magical abilities. They are sealed in a tomb, destined to be reawakened in the 21st century to fight Scarab, who has also been resurrected as a powerful sorcerer.
