Christopher Joseph Columbus (born September 10, 1958) is an American filmmaker. Born in Spangler, Pennsylvania, Columbus studied film at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts where he developed an interest in filmmaking. After writing screenplays for several teen comedies in the mid-1980s, including Gremlins, The Goonies, and Young Sherlock Holmes, he made his directorial debut with a teen adventure, Adventures in Babysitting(1987). Columbus gained recognition soon after with the highly successful Christmas comedy Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992). The comedy Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), starring Robin Williams, was another box-office success for Columbus. He went on to direct several other films throughout the 1990s, which were mostly met with lukewarm reception. However, he found commercial success again by directing the film adaptations of J. K. Rowling's novels Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and its sequel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). In addition to directing, Columbus was a producer for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), as well as the drama The Help(2011). He also directed the fantasy Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief(2010) and the 3D action comedy Pixels (2015). Columbus is the co-founder of 1492 Pictures, a film production company that has produced some of his films since 1995. More recently, he co-founded another production firm with his daughter in 2014 called Maiden Voyage Pictures. In 2017, he launched ZAG Animation Studios, alongside Michael Barnathan, Haim Saban, and Jeremy Zag. Columbus is also known for his collaboration with composer John Williams, with whom he had worked on the film Home Alone and the film series Harry Potter.

During the Middle Age, a banquet in honor of "brave knights", at the castle of one of the most important lords of England, is interrupted by the surprise arrival of a creature believed to have died of then for a long time : Echidna ! The Mother of Monsters steals an artifact stolen by the lord and uses it to free her eldest son, guardian of the Underworld, the all-powerful Cerberus ! Together, they then set off on a quest that seems obvious, freeing her husband, one of the most powerful Titans in existence, the one who made even the Gods tremble : Typhon. Under orders from the lord, a group of knights set out to prevent this, pursuing these creatures throughout the rest of Europe. However, our "heroes" will understand that Cerberus and Echidnades, the youngest of her children, a powerful giant, are not the only children of Echidna in her company. Plus, while all of our protagonists are nowhere near as virtuous as they claim to be, a question arises along the way : is this mother and her family's end goal really as dark as want them to believe ?
