Hidden Filming Locations Where Movie Magic Was Made

30. Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor, Cambodia – Lara Croft’s Jungle-Swallowed Labyrinth

Instantly recognizable from "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" (2001), the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia's Angkor complex is where ancient stone structures are dramatically embraced by the massive roots of silk-cotton trees. This hauntingly beautiful interplay between architecture and encroaching jungle created the perfect mystical, adventurous atmosphere for Lara Croft’s exploits. The temple’s labyrinthine corridors and courtyards, where nature seems to reclaim civilization, provided a visually stunning and almost otherworldly setting, making it one of the most iconic and atmospheric video game-to-film location transitions in cinematic history.
