About
Hercules
From Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures,
"Hercules" stars Dwayne Johnson as both man and myth, leading a
band of mercenaries to help end a bloody civil war in the land of
Thrace and return the rightful king to his throne. A tormented soul
from birth, Hercules has the strength of a God but feels the
suffering of a human. Unimaginable villains will test the mythical
power of Hercules in director Brett Ratner's gritty take on one of
the most epic action heroes of the ages. The film also stars Ian
McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, Aksel Hennie,
Ingrid Berdal, Reece Ritchie, Tobias Santelmann, Rebecca Ferguson,
Isaac Andrews and John Hurt. "Hercules" is produced by Beau Flynn,
Barry Levine and Brett Ratner. Based on Radical Comics' "Hercules"
by Steve Moore, with a screenplay by Ryan J. Condal and Evan
Spiliotopoulos. Directed by Brett Ratner.
