Sphinx

Yes, "Sphinx" was adapted into a film in 1981, starring Lesley-Anne Down and Frank Langella. The movie closely follows the book's plot, focusing on the Egyptologist's dangerous discoveries in the Valley of the Kings.

Unlike many of Robin Cook's other works, "Sphinx" is a standalone archaeological thriller rather than a medical one. It explores themes of ancient curses and historical mysteries, diverging from his typical focus on contemporary medical ethics and technology.
