Spoilers ahead
Professor Douglas McCadden, Ben Murphy, leads an investigation into the tomb of the ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun, only to have an earthquake reveal a hidden chamber that seems to contain more than a royal relic. Inside the sarcophagus lies a body that initially appears to be a mummy, but the viewers soon learn it is an extraterrestrial being preserved in suspended animation, its form masked by a dormant green fungus. The discovery travels to California, where Dr. Ken Melrose takes charge of the scientific work, coordinating examinations that begin with X-rays performed by student Peter Sharpe, [Kevin Brophy]. The medical team notices five crystals clustered around the alien’s head, a detail that will drive a shocking chain of events.
