Plot Summary

Years after defeating the warlord Cotys and freeing Thrace, Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) has vanished into seclusion, trying to leave behind a life of bloodshed and gods. But peace is shattered when a dark prophecy spreads across the lands: Hades, god of the underworld, has risen—and he seeks revenge for Hercules’ defiance of Olympus.

With ancient monsters unleashed, temples crumbling, and the gates of Tartarus cracking open, Hercules is forced to reunite his old mercenary crew for one final quest. This time, it’s not for gold…

It’s to stop the end of the mortal world.

To defeat a god, Hercules must confront his divine lineage, seek help from the Oracle of Delphi, and face his greatest fear: becoming the monster Olympus always feared he was.
