Synopsis
Land of the Pharaohs (1955) is a grand historical epic you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Howard Hawks. In ancient Egypt, a power-mad pharaoh becomes fixated on one thing: a tomb no thief could ever breach.
To guard his treasure into the afterlife, the pharaoh forces a captured architect to design an impenetrable pyramid — the man's reward is freedom for his enslaved people. Inside the palace, a colder game unfolds. The scheming second wife, Nellifer, has no intention of waiting for her husband to die before she claims his gold. Greed and ambition grind together under tons of stone.
The screenplay carries an unlikely credit: Nobel laureate William Faulkner was among its writers. For a young Joan Collins, the venomous queen was an early career-making role. Hawks shot it big — thousands of extras, towering sets. A spectacle for fans of old-school Hollywood sword-and-sandal. Stream Land of the Pharaohs (1955) online on iFILM.
