Cradle of Life Trading Cards

RALEIGH, NC - June, 2003 - In 2300 BC an Egyptian pharaoh found a place he named "The Cradle of Life." There he discovered a box that contained life... and death. Lara Croft has been charged with finding The Cradle of Life and recovering Pandora's Box before it is too late. Facing her greatest challenges and dangers yet, Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) shows off her physical prowess like never before. She jet skis, rides horses, motorcycles and much more through such exotic locations as Hong Kong, Kenya, Tanzania, China and Greece as she searches for the Cradle of Life.
