Stolen from Mount Olympus as an infant by Hades’ bumbling minions, Hercules grows up on Earth as an awkward outcast cursed with godlike strength. When he discovers his true divine heritage, his father Zeus reveals that he can only reclaim his place among the gods by becoming a true hero. To achieve this, Hercules trains under the cynical satyr Philoctetes and transforms into a celebrity gladiator, defeating every legendary monster Hades sends his way. Along his journey to fame, he falls for the fiercely independent Megara, unaware that she is trapped in a contract selling her soul to Hades. As the God of the Underworld launches a catastrophic war to overthrow Olympus using the Titans, Hercules must face his greatest trial yet. He learns that true heroism is not measured by the size of his muscles or physical power, but by the ultimate strength of his heart.
