Lara Croft – Tomb Raider/Lara Croft – Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life – Simon West [DVD]

Description

A double bill of movies based on the popular computer game that features the buxom heroine, Lara Croft. In ‘Lara Crift – Tomb Raider’ (2001) Angelina Jolie takes the role with her real-life father (Jon Voight) playing her father, Lord Croft, who has recently died. Lara is a well-educated English aristocrat who has a secret life; she looks for lost antiquities and will use her highly-trained, fighting skills to get what she wants. When she comes up against an ancient organisation led by Powell (Iain Glen), Lara finds herself travelling across the globe and fighting mysterious creatures to get to an ancient relic before Powell; one that has immense powers. Whilst in the sequel, ‘Lara Croft – Tomb Raider 2’ (2003) Jolie again plays Lara Croft, trying to recover Pandora’s Box, before Ciaran Hinds, a maniacal scientist, can use it as part of a mass annihilation plot. Lara needs some help, so she contacts her ex-partner Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler). She knows he will give her the support needed, but can she trust him?
