Alan Bilis was an ordinary British cab driver with an extraordinary final wish. After being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Alan decided to donate his body to a groundbreaking scientific experiment: to become the first person in over 3,000 years to be mummified using the exact techniques of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty pharaohs. Follow a team of world-renowned scientists as they attempt to "stop time" and preserve Alan for eternity. From the "blood red" Natron baths to the final unwrapping, this film explores the boundary between life and death, ancient ritual and modern chemistry, and the legacy of a man who chose to become a modern-day pharaoh.
