"Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" is an action-adventure film released in 2001, directed by Simon West and based on the popular video game series "Tomb Raider." Angelina Jolie stars as Lara Croft, a skilled adventurer and tomb raider who sets out to retrieve a powerful ancient artifact called the Triangle of Light. The film was a commercial success, grossing over $274 million worldwide.
The movie follows Lara as she sets out to prevent a group of Illuminati members from using the Triangle of Light to control time and space. The quest takes her on a dangerous journey through exotic locations such as Cambodia, Italy, and Siberia. Along the way, she faces various obstacles and adversaries, including her nemesis, Manfred Powell, played by Iain Glen.
Jolie's performance as Lara Croft was praised by critics, who noted her physical resemblance to the character and her ability to convey her strength and charisma. The film's visual effects, action sequences, and music score were also well-received. Despite some criticisms of the plot and character development, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" became one of the most successful video game adaptations of all time and spawned a sequel, "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life," in 2003.
