Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion, until a peasant named Theseus comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders-including visionary priestess Phaedra.

Trivia:
Henry Cavill (Theseus) turned down all assistance from the make-up and visual effects departments to achieve his eight-pack for the movie. He told them, "I do not want you to draw abs on me." Cavill said it was "a pride thing" for him, and he "actually wanted to have that body for real, and show it in the film."
Henry Cavill did not lift any weights while preparing for his role. His physique was achieved through a tabata-style training regiment, consisting of only body weight exercises. This training methodology was chosen, because the goal was to not put on much mass, but to develop a very lean, highly defined physique.
According to Mickey Rourke (King Hyperion), Henry Cavill (Theseus) would do two thousand push-ups daily before he went in front of the camera.
