Lara Croft

The Lara Croft film plots are not directly based around a game, however the whole premise and character of Lara is based on the Tomb Raider video games. The games were first developed in 1996 and more than ten games have been released. Two films have been released as part of the franchise which is unusual as the games are usually based around films. Films usually release their own official games as part of their merchandise however it is very rare that a film is based around an existing video game.
