This live action remake of the animated 1997 Disney classic takes place in Ancient Greece, the time of atrocities and tragedy and when heroes rose at the moment when they're most needed. The story is about the mighty HERCULES! Son of Zeus and Hera. Born on Olympus, but raised on Earth after the minions of the wicked Hades kidnapped him as a baby and made him mortal. But just when they're about to kill him, Pain and Panic head voices and hide, failing to give the child the last drop of the potion. Because of that, even though he's now mortal, Hercules still has his super strength. He was raised by Amphitryon and Alcmene and declared a danger to society because he can't control his strength. After his parents tell the truth about finding him in the woods and adopting him. But they show him that as a baby, he had a medallion with the symbol of the gods. So, Hercules bids farewell to his foster parents and heads to the Temple of Zeus to find answers. Zeus himself reveals his own son's origins and says that in order to go back home to Olympus, he must prove himself a true hero that mortals can rely on. So, with Pegasus by his side, Herc meets the hero trainer, Philoctetes ("Phil"), and spends the next five years training. Right when he's about to put his heroism to the test, he rescues and falls for a young woman named Megara ("Meg"). But can she be trusted?
