Overview

King Androcles of Thebes commands a ship in search of a threat to Greece, predicted by an atmospheric oracle. Hercules is part of the crew, but the strongman falls overboard in a thick fog. Washed ashore, he saves a young Ismene from Proteus, an evil, shape-shifting creature. Ismene takes Hercules to Atlantis, where he discovers that her mother, Queen Antinea, has captured Androcles. Hercules schemes to rescue him and thwart Antinea's dream of world conquest.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gloriously campy mythological romp where Hercules stumbles through Atlantis with earnest silliness, balancing genuine adventure spectacle with wonderfully hammy creature effects and melodramatic villainy.
