Homer’s The Odyssey is one of the most iconic works of Greek literature, rooted deeply in mythology and history. The epic follows King Odysseus of Ithaca and his loyal crew as they embark on a perilous journey home after the decade-long Trojan War. Waiting for him in Ithaca are his wife, Queen Penelope, and their son, Telemachus—but the path back is anything but simple.
Odysseus’s voyage spans ten years and is filled with extraordinary challenges. Along the way, he faces mythical dangers such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, the enchanting yet deadly Sirens, and the powerful sorceress Circe. Each trial tests his courage, wit, and determination to reunite with his family.
This bold new adaptation of The Odyssey is directed by visionary filmmaker Christopher Nolan, bringing a modern cinematic lens to this timeless tale. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Queen Penelope, Tom Holland as Prince Telemachus, and Zendaya as the goddess Athena.
Check out the trailer below! The Odyssey is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2026.
