Summary of Lara Croft: Burial Place Raider Film
"Lara Croft: Burial Place Raider" is an American action-adventure movie launched in 2001, directed by Simon West and starring Angelina Jolie as the eponymous character. The movie is based on the popular video game series, Tomb Raider, including the main character, Lara Croft - a fearless, intelligent and separately rich archaeologist.

The Premise and Croft's Mission
The film starts with Lara Croft training in her grand English estate when she finds a secret clock formerly owned by her late dad. Lara discovers that the clock is a device indicating the area of 2 parts of the "Triangle of Light", a magical object that, when its parts are unified, provides the user with the ability to manage area and time. The catch is, the positioning of all worlds, which occurs when every 5,000 years and would power the Triangle, is just days away, putting the fate of humankind at danger.

The Illuminati and Lara's Quest
The Illuminati, a secret society desiring control gradually through the Triangle, sadly, has one part of the triangle. Illuminati's representative, Manfred Powell (Iain Glen), fools Lara into exposing the clock's hidden tricks, which begins her on a global journey to retrieve the Triangle before the planetary positioning. Accompanied by her trusted tech-savvy assistant Bryce (Noah Taylor) and battling mentor/romantic interest Alex West (Daniel Craig), Lara starts this adventure, which takes her from Cambodia to Siberia.

The Climactic Race Against Time
Lara, despite a number of chances, handles to recuperate one piece of the Triangle in Cambodia, overcoming numerous traps and soldiers from the Illuminati. Upon her return, she finds her mansion ransacked, and her relied on butler Hilary injured. The Illuminati, however, trick Alex into leading them into the 2nd piece of the Triangle in Siberia.

In the climax, Lara faces off versus Powell and his group in an ancient tomb under the ice within a planetarium, where the Triangle can be triggered. Time misshapes and Lara sees her father, who guides her on how to ruin the Triangle and return time to regular. Lara manages to shoot the Triangle, interfering with Powell's strategy and freezing time right before the worlds vacate positioning. She then rewinds time to conserve Alex, killed by Powell while doing so, and gets away just as the tomb collapses.

Conclusion
