THE SCORPION KING


SYNPOSIS:

In the notorious city of Gomorrah 5000 years ago, the evil ruler Memnon (Steven Brand) 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. He takes on the task, only to find the sorcerer is
actually the beautiful Cassandra (Kelly Hu), whom he kidnaps and takes to the desolate Valley of the Dead. There he prepares for a final battle for power—one which Cassandra thinks will end with his death. However, if Mathayus can live up to the creed of his people —live free, die well—he may just win and become the Scorpion King.
