Lara Croft is a survivor in new Tomb Raider trailer

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Lara Croft has morphed from a video game sex symbol who fires two guns whilst jumping in the air into a survivalist warrior woman, and the world is a much better place to live as a result. We will see this new Croft jump off the gaming screen and onto the silver screen come March, and to get you ready for the action a brand new trailer is here to meet your adrenaline-craving needs. Alicia Vikander becomes a blockbuster heroine as Croft as she takes on Walton Goggins as the seedy Mathias Vogel, all as she hunts for ancient secrets that will restore honor to the Croft name. 

Here is the plot synopsis:

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.

Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.
