Tomb Raider is a 2018 action-adventure film directed by Roar Uthaug, with a screenplay by Geneva

Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons, from a story by Evan Daugherty and Robertson-Dworet.
An American and British co-production,[5] it is based on the 2013 video game of the same name, with
some elements of its sequel by Crystal Dynamics, and is a reboot of the Tomb Raider film series.
The film stars Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, who embarks on a perilous journey to her father's last-
known destination, hoping to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Dominic West, Walton
Goggins, Daniel Wu, and Kristin Scott Thomas appear in supporting roles.
Principal photography took place from January to June 2017 at the Warner Bros. Studios in
the United Kingdom, and in Cape Town, South Africa. The first Tomb Raider film not to be
distributed by Paramount Pictures, it was released in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2018, and in
the United States on March 16, 2018, by Warner Bros. Pictures, in RealD 3D, IMAX
3D, IMAX and 4DX.[8] The film grossed $274 million worldwide, equal to the Angelina Jolie's original
film in 2001 and more than its 2003 sequel.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some describing the plot as "paint-by-numbers",
and others praising the action sequences, tone, grittiness and realistic take on the franchise.
Vikander's performance was highly praised but the characterization of Croft drew a polarized
response; some described her as a "capable, powerful, and unobjectified heroine", while others
called her bland, and a "punching bag and onlooker."[9]
