The movie is based on Homer’s ancient classic The Odyssey and follows King Odysseus as he washes up on the shores of Ithaca 20 years after he left his kingdom and finds his beloved wife Penelope hounded by suitors vying to be king, and his son Telemachus facing death at the hands of these suitors, who see him as merely an obstacle to their pursuit of the kingdom.
