In this alternate version of ancient Greek mythology, this story revolves around the mighty Hercules who is known to be the strongest hero of Greece. Despite his duties to his home and the love he gets from the crowd, the heroic figure still seeks to accomplish more than defending Greece from thugs and monsters. All that changes when he receives a calling from his father, Zeus, who is in fact a Greek God. Zeus assigns Hercules with a chance-of-a-lifetime task which is to team up with a ruthless warrior, Perseus, slayer of Gorgons, so they can battle against Kronos and his Titans, as he plans the destruction and reconstruction of the world. In this unusual comedic epic, Hercules must not only learn to work together with his counterpart, Perseus with a cynical personality, but also getting to know the infamous Greek gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. Venture into this alternate retro CGI visual take of Greek mythology as the heroes start not only an unlikely adventure, but also an unlikely friendship among a demigod, a warrior, and the strongest beings in the Universe.
