The answer
The movie was The Mummy (1999).
- The plot kicks off when rival expeditions race to a fabled Egyptian 'City of the Dead' called Hamunaptra, and someone foolishly reads aloud from a black book — waking a 3,000-year-old curse.
- After a tipsy speech, the heroine insists: "I am proud of what I am. I am a librarian!"
- It pairs a wisecracking American soldier-of-fortune and former Foreign Legionnaire with a clumsy but brilliant Egyptologist who can read hieroglyphs — plus her scheming, treasure-hungry brother.
- A 1999 action-adventure-fantasy that reinvented a classic Universal monster as a globe-trotting, wisecracking popcorn romp; it grossed over $400 million and spawned two sequels and a spin-off franchise.
- Starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, this Stephen Sommers blockbuster sends 1920s treasure hunters running from a resurrected high priest who commands sandstorms, scarabs, and the ten plagues of Egypt.
