Immortals

Secara keseluruhannya, cerita ni bukanlah sepenuhnya sama dengan kisah dongeng rakyat Greek sana tu. banyak je jalan cerita yang bercanggah dengan kisah dongeng tu sendiri macam orang tuhan dengan Theseaus tu. kalau bab kerat2 darah terpercik sana sini tu memang bestlah tengok kan. okay jom layan sinopsis.



Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), the king of Crete, declares war on Olympus after the gods fail to answer his prayers to save his family from illness, and starts searching for the Epirus Bow, a powerful weapon created by Ares (Daniel Sharman), which he intends to use to release the Titans from Mount Tartarus and destroy the gods.

Hyperion attacks several holy places in search of the Epirus Bow, which was lost on Earth during the last war between the gods and the Titans, and after kidnapping a virgin oracle priestess called Phaedra (Freida Pinto) to help him, advances towards a nearby village, where the young Theseus (Henry Cavill) lives with his mother. Theseus' mother conceived him after being raped, and he is thus considered a bastard and prevented from evacuating the village with its other inhabitants by the soldier Lysander (Joseph Morgan). Theseus defeats him in combat, which he was taught by an old man (John Hurt), and Lysander is discharged by his commanding officer, Helios (Peter Stebbings). Infuriated, he offers his services to Hyperion, who accepts them after he maims and emasculates Lysander for his cowardly betrayal.

The old man is actually Zeus (Luke Evans) in disguise. He meets with Ares, Poseidon (Kellan Lutz), Athena (Isabel Lucas), Apollo (Corey Sevier) and Heracles (Steve Byers), and tells them that they can't directly interfere with the conflict until the Titans are released from Tartarus. Meanwhile, Theseus returns to the village only to discover that Hyperion and his army have already attacked. Hyperion murders Theseus' mother in front of him and sends him to work as a slave in the mines, where Theseus befriends another prisoner, the thief Stavros (Stephen Dorff).

Phaedra has a vision of Theseus standing as an ally to Hyperion after accidentally touching him and tells Stavros to make sure Theseus is always by his side. She and the other captured oracles later start a riot, in which she, Theseus, and Stavros escape alongside other slaves. Theseus decides to go after Hyperion and the others follow him. They attack a boat filled with Hyperion's men, but are overpowered. They are however rescued when Poseidon causes a tidal wave which knocks Hyperion's men out. On their way out, Phaedra has the same vision, noticing a shrouded body. She determines that this means Theseus needs to return to his village and bury his mother.

In the process, he finds the Epirus Bow, but is attacked by the Minotaur (Robert Maillet), while the others are attacked by Hyperion's soldiers, who were warned of Theseus' presence by Lysander, killing Dareios (Alan Van Sprang) while the others are made to kneel for their execution. Theseus finally defeats the Minotaur and rescues his allies using the Epirus Bow, before collapsing due to being poisoned by the Minotaur. Phaedra takes him back to his house, where she cures him and they make love, which causes her to lose her premonitory powers.

The group returns to Phaedra's temple and discover that Hyperion had Phaedra's priestesses burned in a brazen bull. The group soon find that the temple is filled with Hyperion's soldiers, who capture the group, killing Nycomedes (Greg Bryk) and steal the Epirus Bow, forcing Ares and Athena to come down from Mount Olympus and intervene. Athena is able to provide horses for the group, while Ares slays the advancing soldiers. Zeus appears from the sky, and is ready to kill the pair of gods for their treachery, but he spares Athena her life. Ares, however, does not back down, and claims that he had to do what he did to save Theseus. Enraged, Zeus uses a burning whip to send Ares shooting across the room and into the marble wall behind him that results in his death. Zeus warns the group that no god will help them again, lest they suffer Ares' fate, and pleads to Theseus to vindicate him. The heroes use Athena's horses to ride to Mount Tartarus, which is under attack by Hyperion's forces. Theseus tries to warn the king of the Athenians, Cassander, of Hyperion and the bow, but he refuses to listen. At night, Theseus meets with an envoy sent by Hyperion, who then reveals that it is him who tells Theseus that he will release the Titans tomorrow. After killing the Beast Handler when he receives the bow, Hyperion uses the weapon to blow open the fortress gates, killing Helios and a few soldiers and allowing his army to battle the Athenians. Hyperion sneaks past the two fighting armies, kills Cassander and releases the Titans using the Epirus Bow, while Stavros is knocked into Tartarus with the bow. He manages to kill a few titans before they kill him, with the gods confronting the titans and then engaging them in combat.

Theseus enters the temple and fights Hyperion. He is stabbed multiple times, but is able to kill Hyperion by stabbing him in the neck before dying. Meanwhile Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Apollo and Heracles enter Tartarus and begin slaughtering the Titans but are overpowered by their numbers. Heracles and Apollo are killed while Athena is impaled on a rebar from the Titans prison. Poseidon is nearly killed before Zeus collapses the mountain upon them. Poseidon and Zeus, carrying the body of Athena, return to Olympus while the Tartarus collapses on itself.

Theseus is welcomed into Mount Olympus by the gods for his sacrifice, and is awarded with a son from his night with Phaedra. The boy inherits his mother's premonitions and is told by Zeus disguised as the old man not to fear them, though his visions show that in the future, there will be a war between the Olympians and the Titans. The final shot depicting Theseus fighting alongside Zeus, Poseidon and other Olympian immortals against the Titans in a massive battle. The old man tells him that his time for war and glory will come.
