Inspired by the legendary Egyptian warrior, "The Scorpion
King" is set 5,000 years ago in the notorious city of Gomorrah,
where an evil ruler is determined to lay waste to all the nomadic
peoples of the desert. The few remaining tribes, never natural
allies, have to unite or perish. Knowing their enemy relies
on the visions of a sorcerer, they hire a skilled assassin,
Mathayus (The Rock), to eliminate the visionary. After infiltrating
the enemy camp, Mathayus discovers that the sorcerer is in fact
a beautiful woman (Kelly Hu). Rather than eliminate her, he
takes her deep into the desert badlands, knowing that the ruler's
henchmen will stop at nothing to rescue her and bring her back.
Seriously wounded in the ensuing battle, Mathayus must find
the strength to lead his scrappy band of allies back to Gomorrah
for a final confrontation. |
