This remake of the 1978 feature film DEATH ON THE NILE uses a lavish location shoot in Egypt, presenting Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) with the opportunity to solve another intriguing case. Linnet Doyle (Emily Blunt) is a wealthy upper class woman who has recently married. Sadly the wedding was conducted in somewhat shady circumstances, as her husband was the former fiance of Doyle's best friend, who she stole away in a less than honorable fashion. The couple decides to honeymoon in Egypt, but a fabulous cruise down the River Nile turns nasty when Doyle is found murdered in her bed.
