Director Juan Jesús García Galocha weaves a tale of a secret hidden city populated by Egyptian Mummies who have lived there for thousands of years. Through circumstance members of the community have to venture out into the real world. In this case, it’s London, England.

Thut (Joe Thomas) is an ex-chariot racer who has lost his nerve and is then mistakenly chosen to wed Princess Nefer (Eleanor Tomlinson). Before the nuptials can take place, an evil archaeologist Lord Carnaby (Dan Starkey) absconds with the wedding ring and returns to England. The chase is now on.

The inherent oddities of the British public are played out for comic effect and most of the film’s humour comes from this circumstance. There are no real surprises with how things play out but the story is told in such an easy manner it’s quite beguiling.

By imperial mandate, Princess Nefer has to marry Thut, but neither wants to marry. Nefer because she craves freedom and Thut because he is allergic to commitment.

But the gods’ wishes are inescapable and Thut will have to marry Nefer in seven days and bring the ancient ring that the Pharaoh has given him intact to the wedding.

Meanwhile, on the surface of the earth, Lord Silvester Carnaby, carries out an archaeological expedition in which, for the first time, he finds something relevant: an Egyptian tomb where in addition to several trophies he finds a wedding ring.

It is his opportunity to go down in history, and see his dream come true, but he does not count on the fact that this ring already has an owner … When Thut discovers his ring has been stolen, he has no choice but to climb into the human world and infiltrate present-day London.

He is accompanied by his younger brother Sekhem, an 8-year-old boy wanting to recover Thut’s racing hero status; and Croc, the baby crocodile and Sekhem’s pet; as well as Nefer, who takes the opportunity to flee the marriage and pursue her dreams.

Together, the three mummies will have to navigate modern-day London, recover the ring that Lord Silvester Carnaby has stolen from them and, something that was not in Thut and Nefer’s plans, learn to like each other.
