Trading Cards from Inkworks
RALEIGH, NC, -- June 26, 2001 – She is an heiress, raised in privilege. She is a survivor, tested by danger. She is an explorer, challenged by adventure. The power of ages and the fate of the world rest in her hands. Academy Award®-winning actress Angelina Jolie brings the most successful interactive video game character in history, Lara Croft, to life in the summer action-adventure epic movie, Lara Coft Tomb Raider.
The movie that fans have been waiting for captures Lara’s indomitable search for the truth as she pushes her intelligence, agility and technical mastery to their very limits. Navigating diabolical tombs and grappling with mystical adversaries, Lara overcomes extreme obstacles as she races to retrieve three ancient artifacts before their devastating power is unleashed on mankind. The movie has already broken box office records and established itself as one of the top blockbusters of 2001.
The Lara Croft Tomb Raider Premium Trading Cards offer 90 action-packed cards filled with story cards, gadget cards, behind-the-scenes cards and more. In addition, the product will contain several levels of extraordinary bonus cards:
