There is a difference in the plots between the 2001 and the 2018 movies. In the 2001 movie Laura Croft criss-crossed the globe to find her father and the secrets he left behind.
The internet describes the 2018 movie plot as follows:
Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination -- a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.
CAST:

| Dominic West Lord Richard Croft |

| Kristin Scott Thomas Ana Miller |

| Derek Jacobie Mr. Yaffe |
We all enjoyed the movie as it was indeed chockablock full of intrigue, mysterious clues and lots of action. Am sure that Ms.Vikander had to really train hard for her role as even with a stunt double and special effects, the role required a lot of physical strength. Additionally, Walton Goggins is indeed one of the very best bad guys. This time his bad guy had a bit of humanity in him but only as it related to his own desires. Daniel Wu who played the boat captain, Lu Ren, is a well known Asian American actor overseas in the Chinese movie market. Hopefully, local theater goers will be able to see him again in more wide release movies like this one.
