Revealing mistake: When Lara gets out of the bath, you can see a strap on her shoulder which means that Lara wasn't naked when she got out of the bath.
Tomb Raider (2001)
Plot summary
Directed by: Simon West
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, Daniel Craig, Iain Glen, Noah Taylor, Chris Barrie
Lara's father, before he died, was interested in something called The Triangle of Light, an object which had the ability to control time. But the ancient people misused it and it was split in two and the pieces scattered at opposite ends of the Earth. Every few thousand years there is a complete planetary alignment (ie everythiny - Pluto, Mars etc. is in line) and the pieces can be found. One day Lara hears a clock ticking and discovers it has been left by her father. She travels through tombs and outsmarts Alex and gets the first piece, while Manfred Powell tries to get it off her. Then she travels to the Arctic wastes to get the second piece, after discovering her father was in the cult group Illuminati.

Lara Croft: Yes well I've always found your ignorance quite amusing.
Trivia: The battle training robot is named "Simon" in the film, presumably after the director Simon West.
Question: The Director states in the commentary that there are some clues to some kind of puzzle at certain scenes (such as When Lara is doing the bungee ballet and when Alex gets knifed). What are these clues that we're supposed to be looking for - something in the background? The action? Some kind of composition? And just what is the puzzle?

Answer: This movie left a lot of holes. It was pretty much: Lara knew what to do and she did it. Perhaps there are clues in the movie, but the book explains all the puzzles in much more detail (as books do). So if you are really interested in the deep puzzles of the adventure, the Tomb Raider book is what you should look at.
