2018 · Movie · PG-13 · your starting pointIf you want that specific blend of a resourceful, determined protagonist surviving hostile terrain while uncovering personal mysteries tied to a missing family member, you'll likely find the closest matches in Daughter of the Wolf (combat-driven woman rescuing family across brutal landscapes) and We Kill Them All (daughter confronting her father's past in a survival scenario). The island-as-puzzle-box element and archaeological intrigue show up more scattered across your options—Miss Fisher & the Crypt of Tears nails the globe-trotting artifact mystery, while Lost and Kidnapped to the Island deliver the environmental mystery-solving, but none quite compress all those elements the way Tomb Raider does.
