aka Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Although I did find this more engaging than the first movie (during which I had fallen dead asleep in the theatre after fifteen minutes!) the premise is a bit more stupid. Lara, seeming like an unemotional female version of James Bond, is after the literal Pandora's Box. It's from this from which all life sprang. But along with life the box contains 'anti-life' (is it like anti-matter?) which could, of course, destroy all life on Earth if it's let loose. Although it's a Greek myth, the box is in a hidden cavern in Africa, guarded by a tribe. It's also protected by these tree-looking demons, which I suspect may be 'inspired' by those walking trees in the second LORD OF THE RINGS movie. This monster sequence is the best part of the movie.
