Lou Ferrigno's Hercules tackles a universe of mechanical monsters, magic and spectacularly elastic mythology. The cosmic explanations and colourful effects keep finding new ways to outgrow the ancient legend; a particularly generous feast for fantasy riffing.

Synopsis and movie facts
Hercules, a semi-divine being, squares off against King Minos, who is attempting to use science to gain power and take over the world. With the help of a benevolent sorceress, Circe, Hercules tries to save his beloved Cassiopeia from being sacrificed by Minos, and struggles against laser-breathing creatures and an evil sorceress.
