Mumya Firarda

Ahmet, who is seen as a flighty photographer by his family of five generations of Istanbulites, is actually a successful MIT agent. He juggles two very different identities and lifestyles. Fatima, the daughter of a respected Egyptian archaeologist, is a university student who cannot forget her Turkish mother, who died years ago. The paths of the Egyptian-mixed beauty Fatima and MIT agent Ahmet cross due to a mummy stolen from Egypt. Ahmet, who believes that the stolen mummy will solve a mafia boss's power problem, suspects Fatima. On the plane carrying the mummy is also the body of archaeologist Yahya, who died during the excavations. However, upon arriving in Istanbul, the coffins are mixed up, and while Yahya's body is handed over to the mafia boss, the mummy is delivered to the grieving family...

Directed by Erdal Murat Aktaş, Mumya Firarda leans on a strong ensemble — Nurgül Yeşilçay, Teoman, Selami Şahin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2002.
