Exploring lost empires, finding priceless treasures, punishing villains in mortal combat...it's all in a day's work for adventurer Lara Croft (Agelina Jolie). But a secret from her father's (Jon Voight) past is about to lead Lara to her greatest challenge. The Triangle Of Light, a legendary artifact with the power to alter space and time. Lara must find the Triangle before it falls into the clutches of the Illuminati, a secret society bent on world domination. To stop the Illuminati, Lara will have to survive a cross-continential chase filled with unimaginable danger. But for the Tomb Raider, danger is the name of the game. LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER - THE CRADLE OF LIFE: Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) is back in action and faces her most perilous mission: to recover what ancient civilization believed to be the essence of all evil, Pandora's Box. She must travel the globe, from Greece to Hong Kong to Kenya and beyond to get to the box before it's found by a maniacal scientist (Ciaran Hindis) whose plan is to use it for mass annihilation. For this adventure, Lara recruits her ex-partner - Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler) - a dangerous mercenary who has previously betrayed Lara and their country. She knows he's the best for the mission, but can she trust him again? Join her as she races through furious hand-to-hand battles, blazing shoot-outs and breathtaking sky-diving escapes to try to save the ancient artifact...and mankind's future.

Editor's Note
This DVD 2-pack includes two high-octane action films based on the the wildly popular video game series LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER. Angelina Jolie is perfectly cast as the voluptuous title character, a tough, sexy, heavily-armed archaeologist who travels the world in search of lost relics, battling an arsenal of monsters, villains, and pitfalls along the way. In the first film, mercenaries invade Lara's hi-tech mansion and steal an ancient relic, forcing her to journey to various international locations--including Cambodia, Italy, and the Arctic Circle--to retrieve the strange object and discover its mysterious properties. In the film's sequel, THE CRADLE OF LIFE, Lara has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. In both films, Lara is a walking advertisement for "girl power": she's brilliant, athletic, courageous, and saucy--and always righteous in her quests to save mankind.
