Hercules

As Alcmene (Elizabeth Perkins, Finding Nemo), Princess of Thebes, awaits the return of her husband Amphitryon (Timothy Dalton, The Living Daylights) from war, the virtuous bride falls victim to the licentious Zeus and finds herself carrying the great god's child. Born Hercules (Paul Telfer, Spartacus), the strapping lad is rejected by his mother, envied by his brother Iphicles, and loathed byZeus's wife Hera. Unbeknownst to Hercules, his wife the priestess Megara and her sons are merely tools of the vengeful Hera, plotting against him and initiating events that lead to banishment from his people.

Hercules seeks redemption through his famous labours. From his journey through the Stymphalian swamps in search of the slashing harpies, to his face-off with leather-winged Nemean lion to the man-eating mares of Lemnos, and, finally, across the flaming waves of the River Styx into the depths of hell itself, Hercules must survive terrifying odds to regain his stature as a god, as a hero, and as a man—accomplishing feats that will elevate him to the status of legend on Earth and achieve immortality in the heavens.
