Big-budget adventure remake based loosely on the Greek myth of Perseus, who is played here by Sam Worthington.
Perseus is the son of the King of the Gods, Zeus (Liam Neeson), but is raised as a man.
When Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the God of the underworld, threatens to seize power from Zeus, Perseus embarks on a life-threatening mission to defeat him.
Joined by a group of brave warriors, Perseus is forced to battle beasts and demons in order to save his family, and will only succeed if he finally accepts and uses his power as a God.
