This is kind of a fun take, as it’s a film based on a film based on a film? The whole plot is an elderly actor looking for a treasure he buried as a child while on the set of The Ten Commandments. The film set was buried after the film wrapped, and is now being excavated by another group.
They do indeed find the buried treasure, but it turns out to be a real artifact that brings to life an ancient deity. And it’s mad. So… there’s that.
Honestly, this is not the most well done movie. It has a very good premise, but it’s not implemented well. It could have been so much better, but as it’s a “made-for-tv” movie it does what it says on the tin. I probably won’t be watching this again.
