What is the Afternoon Session movie today, Monday?
The film chosen to open the week on Sessão da Tarde is The Mummy (2017). Unlike previous versions starring Brendan Fraser in the 90s, this production brings a darker and more contemporary look. The plot moves away a bit from the classic "treasure hunt" tone and dives into a narrative of ancestral curses that awaken in the modern world.
The feature is led by Tom Cruise, who plays Nick Morton, a relic plunderer who accidentally frees an Egyptian princess imprisoned for millennia. The villain, played by Sofia Boutella, brings a physical and supernatural force that challenges the protagonists throughout the film.
Afternoon Session Time on Globo
According to Globo's official programming, the Afternoon Session this Monday (27/04/2026) is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM (Brasília time). The film will air right after the rerun of the telenovela Terra Nostra, in the "Special Edition" block.
It is important to note that times may vary by a few minutes depending on the region, due to local programming and network adjustments. Additionally, last-minute events or special news coverage may alter the schedule without notice, a common practice at open broadcast networks.
Detailed Synopsis of The Mummy
The story of The Mummy (2017) begins centuries ago, in ancient Mesopotamia. Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella) was being prepared to rule Egypt, but her plans are thwarted when her father has a son who becomes the direct heir to the throne. Consumed by hatred and ambition, she makes a pact with Set, the god of death, to gain dark powers and reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers. However, she is captured, mummified alive, and buried in a deep tomb far from Egypt, so she is never found.
In the present day, Nick Morton (Tom Cruise) is a U.S. military officer who takes advantage of conflicts in the Middle East to locate and plunder antiquities and sell them on the black market. During a mission in Iraq, he and his partner Chris Vail (Jake Johnson) accidentally discover Ahmanet's tomb. Alongside archaeologist Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), Nick helps transport the sarcophagus to London.
The transport, however, ends in tragedy. The plane crashes, but Nick miraculously survives. He soon realizes he was "chosen" by Ahmanet to serve as the human vessel for the god Set on Earth. From then on, a race against time begins through the streets of London to prevent the princess from regaining her full powers and bringing about the end of civilization as we know it.
Technical Details and Cast
To understand the magnitude of this production, it is essential to observe the names involved both in front of and behind the camera. The film was designed to be the kickstart of the "Dark Universe," a Universal Pictures project to interconnect its classic monsters.
