Hercules is said to be the illegitimate son of Zeus. Zeus's wife wanted to get rid of him out of jealousy and resentment, but she inadvertently drank her milk by Hercules when she was a baby, which gave Hercules even greater power. Hercules returned to his hometown of Athens after completing the twelve impossible trials that killed the hydra and the giant lion. He was greeted by his wife and children who loved him, as well as citizens who admired him so much.

But Hercules, who has always been upright, kind, and brave, woke up after a drunkenness and found that his wife and children had died beside him covered in blood. He is believed to be the murderer of his own wife and children, and the King of Athens expelled him on this charge. The death of his wife and children became an extremely heavy boulder in his heart, which made him live in torment every day.

After leaving Athens, Hercules walked around the world as a mercenary with each of his stunted companions. This time, they participated in the civil war in Thrace. Hercules and her partners trained their own soldiers, built strong armors and shields for them, and used extremely lethal chariots to help out in the battle. They continued to win, and finally helped their own victory. But after the victory, he discovered that they were deceived and exploited. They decided to take a turn, but they were outnumbered and they were all captured. Then, the truth about Hercules "killing his wife and children" also surfaced. ...

The battle scenes of the whole film are grand and exciting (the scene where the chariot kills groups of enemies is especially enjoyable), the plot is tortuous, and the character's psychology is also deep. It's worth seeing.
