The film was banned in China (save for Hong Kong and Macau) after the government complained that it portrayed their country as lawless and 'overrun with secret societies.' One scene in the movie was set in Shanghai, but it was shot on a set and not on location.Ĭradle of Life also featured the new 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, first seen when Lara parachutes into the moving vehicle in Africa and takes over the wheel from Kosa. įilming lasted for three and a half months, which included six-day shoots on location in Hong Kong, Thira, Llyn Gwynant in North Wales (doubling for mainland China), and a two-week stint in Kenya for shooting at Amboseli and Hell's Gate, with the remainder of the picture filmed on soundstages in the UK. The picture was also distributed internationally by Japanese company Toho-Towa. The budget for Cradle of Life was just under $120 million like the first film, it was financed through Tele-München Gruppe.

During this time, Terry arrives, frees Reiss' captives, and catches up to Lara.įollowing a climactic fistfight between Lara and Reiss, Reiss is knocked into the acid pool by Lara after he is distracted by Terry.

Soon they face perils such as a forest full of Shadow Guardians that kill immediately when they sense movement. Reiss threatens to kill Bryce, Hillary, and Kosa unless Lara leads him to the Cradle of Life. As the expedition started, many of the tribesmen are soon killed by Reiss' soldiers and ends with Lara being captured as Reiss' helicopter starts to land. Lara meets up with Kosa, an African friend who serves as her translator as they obtain information from a local tribe about the Cradle of Life which is located on the Mountain of God. After the transmission, Reiss and his men had infiltrated the mansion and captured Bryce and Hillary.

Lara sends this info back to Bryce back at Croft Manor.

The orb later reveals the location of the Cradle of Life to be somewhere near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Lara and Terry begin to fall in love with each other again but Lara starts to back away from him. Lara recruits an old lover, Terry Sheridan, ( Gerard Butler), a former mercenary and Royal Marine who had spent his last couple of years in prison in Kazakhstan, to help her track down Chen Lo and the orb.Īmong the action sequences that take place during this time are the duo's entry into mainland China, a fight scene in suburban Shanghai, and a leap off the then-under-construction International Finance Centre skyscraper in Hong Kong, landing on a ship out in the Kowloon Bay. Lara finds the orb while exploring the submerged Luna Temple following an earthquake off the coast of Thira, but it is stolen by crime lord Chen Lo, who in turn plans to sell the orb to Reiss. The key to finding the box, which is hidden in the mysterious Cradle of Life, is a magical luminous orb that serves as a map. Lara Croft ( Jolie) is tasked by MI6 to find Pandora's Box, an object from ancient legends which supposedly contains one of the deadliest plagues on Earth, before evil Nobel Prize-winning scientist turned bioterrorist Jonathan Reiss, ( Ciarán Hinds) can get his hands on it.
