In Ancient Greece 1200 B.C., a queen succumbs to the lust of Zeus to bear a son promised to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king and restore peace to a land in hardship. But this prince, Hercules, knows nothing of his real identity or his destiny. He desires only one thing: the love of Hebe, Princess of Crete, who has been promised to his own brother. When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: to flee with his true love or to fulfill his destiny and become the true hero of his time. The story behind one of the greatest myths is revealed in this action-packed epic - a tale of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.
nudity | 2/10 Mentioned sexual activity. A woman is impregnated by and invisible Zeus, moaning, not too explicit though her pleasure is clearly expressed. A man and woman are seen lying on a cloth implying sex. No nudity is shown. AMENDED - One scene where Hercules and a woman in bathing. Cleavage is visible but the woman is also wrapped in a long cloth that covers most of her body. Several scenes where men are wearing nothing but short shorts/pants. |
violence | 7/10 R level violence and brutality, but managed a PG-13 rating since it has zero blood. The battles are similar to the film 300, but they are slow motion battle scenes, really in your face, especially in 3D. People are beaten, stabbed, crushed, shot with arrows, impaled with other things. |
profanity | Mild profanity. |
alcohol | None. |
frightening | Intense battle sequences pushing PG-13 level but there is no blood. |
