Der Fluch der Sphinx (1981)
Die Harvard-Absolventin Erica Baron (Lesley-Anne Down) sucht das Grab des Pharao Seti. Gleich nach ihrer Ankunft in Kairo beobachtet die Archäologin den Mord an Antiquitätenhändler Hamdi (John Gielgud). Fortan umschleichen dunkle Gestalten die Ahnungslose. Als Erica mit Hilfe einer alten Papyrusrolle tatsächlich fündig wird, gerät sie ins Kreuzfeuer verfeindeter Grabräuberbanden. Und selbst der tote Pharao im Sarg scheint ihr zu grollen… Regisseur Franklin J. Schaffner ("Papillon") ließ die Gruselmär mit musealen Grabreliquien ausstatten der Spannung nützt es freilich nicht.
