Movie Synopsis

In ancient times, the gods, led by Zeus (Liam Neeson), Poseidon (Danny Houston) and Hades (Ralph Fiennes), betrayed their parents, the Titans, and banished them to the Underworld with the help of the Kraken, a monster born from Hades' flesh. After this, the Gods divided the Universe between themselves - Zeus took the skies, Poseidon took the seas and Hades was tricked by Zeus and left with the Underworld - and created the mortals, whose faith fueled their immortality. However, as time went by, the humans started to question the gods.

Several years later, a fisherman named Spyros (Pete Postlethwaite) finds a coffin floating in the sea, with a dead woman inside holding a baby, whom he and his wife, Marmara (Elizabeth McGovern), raise as their own and name "Perseus".

Years later, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is on a fishing trip with his family when he witnesses soldiers from the city of Argos destroying a statue of Zeus as a declaration of war against the gods. The men are soon attacked by Hades and slaughtered. Hades then kills Perseus' family out of spite, but Perseus survives and is washed ashore of Argos, where he is found by the Praetorian Guard led by Draco (Mads Mikkelsen) and taken to King Kepheus (Vincent Regan) and Queen Cassiopeia (Polly Walker), who are celebrating the dawn of the Era of Men.
