Plot summary
Abel Trelawny, a noted Egyptologist, receives a package holding half a plaque in hieroglyphics; joined to its matching piece, the inscription calls on ancient powers to restore life. Trelawny refuses to take part, and he is found in his study in a coma with claw marks on his wrist. By his dictated wishes he is kept among his Egyptian artifacts with two people watching him at all times. His daughter Margaret calls on art historian Robert Wyatt, her former boyfriend, who brings in Corbeck, an archaeologist who dug an Egyptian queen's tomb with Trelawny in the 1970s. Their search turns on an ancient mummy whose heart carries a power beyond this world.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Legend of the Mummy (1998)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Turned down by producers in 1994 and unable to secure financing, director Jeffrey Obrow shot a 10-minute promotional video using aspiring effects artists and his USC Film School students; Goldbar Entertainment's Hanel Goldstein and Bill Barnett saw it and agreed to produce the film.
- John Penney wrote the first adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel but left because of scheduling conflicts, so director Jeffrey Obrow finished the script himself, after which Lars Hauglie rewrote it.
- Effects artists Chad Washam and Chris Fording built the mummy from a sculpted head, rubber hands and a spandex suit with cloth bandages glued to it, along with mechanical seven-fingered hands, shriveled face makeup and a baby mummy suit.
