This film delves deeper into the lore of Prince Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara, revealing the story of a young advisor to the Prince and rival to Hath-Set named Teth-Adam, who hides a secret from the court. The death of the prince and princess sets off a chain reaction that leads to an ancient Wizard granting Teth-Adam godlike powers for the purpose of stopping the rise of an all-powerful tyrant and freeing his enslaved comrades from the wrath of Egypt. However, he takes the power for himself and begins to rule with an iron fist. His actions cost his wife and son their lives, and his brutal methods inspire the name Black Adam. Now inadvertently awakened from centuries long imprisonment by the Wizard, Black Adam is out to renew his powers and seek revenge on the former prince and princess, as well as their former priest and nemesis. Oh, and he also knows exactly how to kill them once and for all.
