Half God. Half Man. All Power. As Alcmene (
Elizabeth Perkins,
Finding Nemo), Princess of Thebes, awaits the return of her husband Amphitryon (
Timothy Dalton,
Living Daylights) from war, the virtuous bride falls victim to the licentious Zeus and finds herself carrying the great god's child. Born Hercules (
Paul Telfer,
Spartacus), the strapping lad is rejected by his mother, envied by his brother Iphicles, and loathed by Zeus's wife Hera. Unbeknownst to Hercules, his wife the priestess Megara and her sons are merely tools of the vengeful Hera, plotting against him and initiating events that lead to the banishment from his people.
