Archaeological facts
James Spader for once playing geek rather than dissolute as Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson. Kurt Russell as a macho Colonel. Aliens. People speaking ancient Egyptian - how often does that happen in a movie.

 

Movie Walkthrough and Review
In modern-day Egypt, Professor Daniel Jackson teams up with retired Army Col. Jack O’Neil to unlock the code of an interstellar gateway to an ancient Egypt-like world. They arrive on a planet ruled by the despotic Ra, who holds the key to the Earth travelers' safe return. Now, in order to escape from their intergalactic purgatory, Jackson and O'Neil must convince the planet's people that Ra must be overthrown.
