The story follows Theseus (Henry Cavill), a mortal man chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) to lead a rebellion against the ruthless King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), who is on a rampage to destroy humanity and release the Titans from their prison.
As King Hyperion wages war to gain the power to defeat the gods, Theseus, with the help of the Oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and a group of rebels, embarks on a perilous journey to stop the king and save the world.
Along the way, Theseus is tested in battle and challenged to understand his own fate and destiny. The film is known for its dramatic action sequences, stylized visuals, and an epic storyline involving gods, heroes, and the clash between mortal and divine forces.
