Having endured his legendary twelve labors, Hercules, the Greek demigod, has his life as a sword-for-hire tested when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek his aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord.
In 1400 B.C., a troubled being roamed the Earth, caught between man and god. Hercules (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), the mighty son of Zeus, endured constant suffering throughout his life. After completing twelve grueling tasks and losing his family, he rejected the gods and found comfort in violent battles. Over time, he formed a bond with six others who shared his passion for fighting and death, focused solely on their pay rather than the reasons behind their battles.
Now, Lord Cotys (Sir John Hurt), the King of Thrace, has hired these mercenaries to train his army into an unparalleled force. It’s time for these lost souls to realize just how far they’ve descended by molding an army as fierce and savage as their own legacy. Hercules’ cousin Iolaus and seer Amphiaraus recount their troubled past alongside warrior Tydeus and Amazon Queen Atalanta, focusing on Hercules, son of Zeus, who is despised by Hera.
They highlight the lesser-known aftermath of his famed twelve labors, revealing that the supposed monsters were not supernatural. As mercenaries with a hint of conscience, they navigate Greece. Lord Cotys of Thrace enlists Hercules and his team to defeat his brother Rhesus and unify the kingdom, despite a plot involving King Eurystheus, who once tasked Hercules with a labor. Haunted yet powerful, Hercules roams Greece with his loyal companions, offering his services for gold. When a cruel warlord threatens Thrace, King Cotys and Princess Ergenia seek Hercules’s help to restore order. Facing daunting challenges, Hercules must tap into the strength that once made him legendary.
