A landmark six-hour special-event series presents, for the first time on TV, a dramatized story of one of history's most renowned rulers, Tutankhamun. His reign as the youngest Egyptian king plays out amid heartbreaking romance, epic battles, political backstabbing, conspiracy, jealousy, and even murder -- illustrating that drama of ancient times was not far removed from that of modern times. Not yet a teenager when he ascends to the throne, King Tut relies on powerful advisers, including Grand Vizier Ay and military strategist General Horemheb, yet those same advisers -- plus friends and lovers -- scheme for their own shameful interests, impeding the king's ability to lead Egypt to glory.

Tut has all of the makings for a powerful re-entry into scripted programming for Spike TV, unfortunately the series falls short, giving it more of a soap opera feel, than the epic saga that I'd hoped for. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 08/03/2015
It's still tosh. But it's quite jolly tosh. Go to Full Review Ellen E Jones Independent (UK) 08/03/2015
Tut... has it all: scheming courtiers, incestuous royal marriage and Sir Ben Kingsley in heavy kohl eyeliner. Go to Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media 07/27/2015
3/5
Tut at least signifies an attempt to attract a broader audience beyond fans of, say, mixed martial-arts fighting and SpongeBob SquarePants reruns with a respectable TV epic that gets a lot of things right about King Tut's reign. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David O 01/13/2025 This was exquisitely done. The balance between the drama, the characters and the plot made this a very captivating experience. The actors did a great job in bringing all characters to life. The theme is also one of my favorites and very well implemented here as well. The intrigue was captivating and I found myself both mentally and emotionally invested in this mini-series. I highly recommend. Also, it has one of the best intros. See more Read all reviews
