Robbing Cleopatra's Tomb (French: Cléopâtre, literally Cleopatra) was an 1899 short silent film directed by Georges Méliès. One of the earliest horror films ever made, it is about resurrecting the mummy of Cleopatra.

This is a lost film. A print was once reported to have been discovered in France on 22 September 2005. However, it later turned out that this was a different film (that happened to involve the robbing of an Egyptian-looking tomb as well).

Sorti en 1899, c'est-à-dire seulement 5 ans après les débuts de l'affaire Dreyfus dans un contexte politique où la France est divisée en 2 camps, ce film ouvertement dreyfusard reconstitue de manière chronologique et séquentiellement les faits de l'époque. Après le jugement militaire, les images muettes montrent Dreyfus au bagne où il est attaché à son lit la nuit. Puis on voit le suicide du colonel Henry suivi du retour en France de Dreyfus par une nuit d'orage.

Un homme s'ébat pendant son sommeil et, éveillé (ou dans son imagination onirique), voit apparaître une femme au bout de son lit. Il veut l'y inviter, quand soudain, elle se transforme en satyre dansant, puis en Pierrot (la musique jouée alors est Au clair de la lune). Les cloisons de la chambre s'ouvrent alors, et une lune grimaçante apparaît. Alors qu'il veut la frapper, elle redevient normale, quand arrivent les trois anciens personnages qui se mettent à danser autour de lui. Enfin, il se réveille, et se rend compte qu'il cauchemardait.

When the man approaches the chair, it turns first into a ghost, then a skeleton, and then an armored knight; then it disappears completely. Turning, the man finds himself confronted by Satan. He attempts to escape, but his way is blocked by a ghost.
