The Odyssey

The Odyssey

The ancient world's most spectacular epic unfolds on-screen as a star-studded, special-effects-filled adventure of breathtaking beauty and power in this lavishly produced adaptation of Homer's 'The Odyssey.' An extraordinary international cast sweeps you into the heroic age of the mighty warrior-king Odysseus (Armand Assante) as his victorious return from the Trojan War becomes a decade-long quest to reach his homeland and his faithful wife, Penelope (Greta Sacchi). Aided by the goddess Athena (Isabella Rossellini), Odysseus braves all the terrors and temptations of a mysterious, far-flung world, matching wits and wiles with a fantastic array of being both mortal and monstrous. It's the voyage of a lifetime, and a journey you and your family will never forget, in this glorious retelling of one of the greatest adventure tales of all time.
