A warrior’s heart beats in the shadows of destiny. In the ancient land of sands and secrets, the Scorpion King’s legacy lives on. As the mighty king, Mathayus (Dwayne Johnson), fights to maintain peace, an unseen darkness rises from the depths of time—an enemy unlike any he has faced before. Torn between his sworn duty to protect his kingdom and the woman he loves, Princess Layla (Jessica Chastain), Mathayus finds himself caught in a web of deceit, betrayal, and war. The gods may have chosen him to rule, but it is his heart that will decide if he survives.

The desert winds howl with the promise of an approaching storm, where ancient magic mixes with the cry of battle. Amid the shifting sands, Mathayus and Layla are bound not only by love but by a fate that threatens to pull them apart. As armies clash and the earth trembles beneath their feet, Mathayus must choose between preserving his kingdom or saving the woman he’s vowed to protect. In the end, even kings are slaves to the fire of destiny.

“To be a king is to carry the weight of the world—but to love, is to carry the world in your heart.”
