From deep within the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, Professor Douglas McCadden ships the coffin of Ankh-Vanharis to the California Institute of Sciences where X-rays reveal five diamond-like crystals hidden within the coffin. Technician Peter Sharpe steals the crystals but doesn't notice that the powerful X-ray has revived a green fungus. When the coffin is opened at a university press conference, the reporters uncover more than they bargained for. The mummy has disappeared... and the Time Walker is alive again!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released theatrically as 'Time Walker' but later retitled 'Being from Another Planet' for Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffing.
The film cynically capitalized on the early 80s Tutankhamun touring exhibit craze, mixing ancient Egypt with Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
