The TOMB RAIDER (Trailer F1) is an upcoming theatrical trailer for the Reboot Movie starring Alicia Vikander.

The Trailer is cut so it takes place in at least two different time lines. One tells Lara's background story about her life in England and how she ended up on the island, the other her adventures on the island.
The Trailer starts off with Lara running through a jungle, then cuts to the lobby of Croft Holdings in London, the business her father headed. The receptionists asks her name and obviously is surprised to learn who she is; presumably she has not been here recently.
After a short cut back to the island and the producing company's logos we witness a flashback to a young Lara talking to her father in the gardens at Croft Manor (Reboot Movie). Back inside Croft Holdings, Lara - while talking to her relatives - absent-mindedly opens a wooden puzzle box to discover a key that later on opens the family crypt. Here she discovers her father's research into Trinity and a message to her her recorded before his disappearance. He talks about a tomb he discovered, called Mother of Death, and warns her that if Trinity succeeds in their plans the world would be in danger. He then goes on to ask her for a promise to stop them before it is too late, his voice being cut over some scenes of puzzle solving and fighting on the island. Back down inside the crypt, "I promise," she tells him, still holding the camera.
The Trailer continues with Lara's journey to the island where the tomb her father talked about is hidden: It is located right in the middle of the Devil's Sea. Her captain, Lu Ren, warns her that "death is not an adventure". On the way her ship is being hit by a storm and after some scenes reminiscent of the Reboot Game intro video - Lara trying to leave the sinking ship; note the backpack when she jumps off - she ends up on an unknown beach and is hit over the head.
On the island she meets the primary antagonist of the film, announcing that she "shouldn't have come here. But I'm glad that you did." It seems she stumbled upon some excavation. It seems that she isn't a prisoner for very long as the next scene takes us back to the jungle, Lara running and shooting arrows, although she seems to have taken the opportunity to talk to her captor about her father.
In a voice-over her father's video message tells her to "close the tomb once and for all", while we see Lara solving puzzles and escaping deadly traps.
The trailer ends with another round of action sequences - Lara falling into a ravine, or standing on the wreckage of an old plane about to collapse - and with a flashback to London, where she buys weapons for her adventures in a store. Holding up her iconic dual pistols, she tells the seller "I'll take two!"
