The Mummy is a British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and written by Jimmy Sangster. It was produced by Hammer Film Productions and released theatrically in the UK on September 25th, 1959. The Mummy is a remake of the 1940 Universal Pictures classic The Mummy's Hand.

In Hammer Studios' vivid 1959 Technicolor reincarnation of The Mummy, screen horror icon Christopher Lee wraps on the moldy gauze bandages and emerges as the tormented Kharis, an avenger stalking the hills and bogs of Victorian England to track down archaeologist John Banning (Peter Cushing) and other desecrators of his beloved Princess Ananka's Egyptian tomb.
