DESCRIPTION:

    Lara Croft, the world's most famous video game heroine, bursts onto the big screen in "...the most stylish and entertaining action adventure movie in years.
    Exploring lost empires, finding priceless treasures, punishing villains in mortal combat... it's all in a day's work for adventurer Lara Croft (Angelina 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-continental chase filled with unimaginable danger. But for the Tomb Raider, danger is the name of the game.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

Lara's father in this film is played by Jon Voight, which is Angelina Jolie's real-life father.
This movie was filmed at the famous Pinewood Studios, where all of the James Bond films were made. A studio Daniel Craig would return to when he was cast 007 several years later.
Several artifacts mentioned and scene in the film are artifacts that Lara found or searched for in the Tomb Raider video games, including the The Dagger Of Xian and The Prayer Wheels.
In the film Lara Croft is British, but is played by Angelina Jolie, who is American. Likewise Alex West is American, but is played by Daniel Craig who is British.
In the video game Lara Croft has 36DD breasts, while Angelina Jolie is only a 36C. As a result the filmmakers decided to pad her bra to bump her up to a 36D which is smaller than character is supposed to have, but as big as it was felt they could get away with without it looking unnatural.
