Sands of Oblivion (2007) on Netflix

Plot summary

In 1923, Cecil B. DeMille had the sets of his epic The Ten Commandments bulldozed into the Guadalupe Sand Dunes along the central California coast, and never said why. An authentic Egyptian artifact had been among the props, though nobody knew which piece carried the spirit of an avenging god. Decades on, Mark Tevis, a logistics veteran of the Iraq war, joins his grandfather at that desert site. The old man saw the set as a boy, when his father worked there as a location scout, and has wanted to dig it up all his life. The two men open a box of childhood keepsakes and find an amulet, which frees a curse from the time of the pharaohs. Alice, who leads the expedition, brings Mark onto the crew.
