The movie follows the story of Percy Jackson (played by Logan Lerman), a teenager who discovers that he is the demigod son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.

The plot kicks off when Percy is accused of stealing Zeus’s lightning bolt, a powerful weapon that has the potential to start a war among the gods. With the help of his friends—Annabeth Chase (Alexandra Daddario), the daughter of Athena, and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson), a satyr—Percy embarks on a dangerous journey to recover the stolen bolt, prove his innocence, and prevent a catastrophic battle among the gods.

Along the way, Percy learns to harness his newfound powers, faces mythical creatures like Medusa (Uma Thurman), and uncovers the truth about his divine heritage. The film blends modern-day adventure with elements of Greek mythology, taking audiences on a thrilling journey through a world where gods, monsters, and magic exist alongside humanity.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is noted for its action-packed sequences, special effects, and engaging portrayal of Greek mythology. Although it deviates from the original novel in some ways, the film introduces viewers to the rich world of Percy Jackson and serves as an introduction to the larger mythological universe explored in the book series. The movie was popular with younger audiences and helped spark a growing interest in Greek mythology among a new generation.
