Centuries ago, the evil Emperor Han was cursed by the sorceress Zi Yuan who transformed him and his army into mummies. In 1946, the explorer Rick O'Connell and his wife Evelyn O'Connell are invited by the British government to take a relic, the diamond "The Eye of Shangri-La" to China. The ancient stone is capable of resurrecting the Emperor Han and of pointing the way to Shangri-La and the eternal pool of life. When the couple reaches China, they meet their son Alex O'Connell, who has discovered the tomb of Han, and Evelyn's brother Jonathan Carnahan. The O'Connells are betrayed by their friend Prof. Roger Wilson, who is associated with General Yang. Yang wants to serve Emperor Han, so he resurrects the mummy and they head for Shangri-La. The guardian of Han's tomb (and Zi's daughter) Lin tells them that the only ways to destroy Han are to prevent him from reaching Shangri-La or by stabbing his heart with a cursed dagger. 向中国电影人致敬的搞笑片么。光荣属于中国人民。中国木乃伊？什么玩意。《木乃伊3》——好莱坞冷汉堡。黑社会老大也有小学同学。《木乃伊三》的三，是三级片的三？。中国元素的木乃伊。Hollywood。大場面。请把十块钱还给请我看电影的同学，谢谢！。好奇心就遭“雷”。 1947年，中国宁夏。中国两千年前的始皇帝：龙帝之墓在此挖掘出土。同时在美国，大探险家欧康诺（Brendan Fraser饰）与夫人伊芙琳（Maria Bello饰）应邀，将传说中能带来永生的宝石“香格里拉之眼”送往中国，以示中美两国人民友谊长存。 不料，国民党军官（黄秋生饰）却和博物馆馆长勾结，当场抢走香格里拉之眼，继而唤醒了两千年前的邪恶力量——龙帝（李连杰饰），此时的龙帝不仅可以借助五行之力施暴，还可以变身为各种怪物涂炭天下生灵。 欧康诺一家奋力与龙帝和他身后庞大的兵马俑队伍展开战斗，千年圣女紫媛（杨紫琼饰）与其女林娜（梁洛施饰）也入盟此支神圣的队伍，以期消灭龙帝，还世界以和平。
