HERCULES

The Disney film Hercules tells the story of Zeus’ demigod son, born a mortal but with divine powers, who is banished to earth after his evil uncle Hades brings about his banishment from Olympus. To reclaim his divinity and find his place, Hercules must become a true hero. He trains with the satyr Philoctetes and befriends the winged horse Pegasus. He fights mythological monsters and eventually takes on Hades, learning that true heroism comes not from strength but from sacrifice and a courageous heart. This culminates in his selfless act to save his beloved Megara and restore his father’s glory.
