Synopsis

In Ancient Greek mythology, Hercules is the son of Zeus, king of the gods on Mount Olympus. As a baby, Hercules is snatched away by Hades, ruler of the underworld, and turned into a half-mortal. But Hercules keeps his god-like strength, and as he grows up, he realises that he is different from other humans. In order for him to rejoin the gods on Mount Olympus, he must prove that he can be a true hero on Earth, with the help of his feisty trainer Philoctetes and winged horse Pegasus. As he fights monsters and saves people in need, the evil Hades grows angry and hatches a plan to defeat Hercules and take over Mount Olympus.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
