After his Oscar-winning portrait of Robert Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan moves from the atomic to the mythic with his adaptation of arguably the most famous ancient text. Homer’s heroic tale details the arduous, danger- filled journey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, from the Trojan War back to his homeland, where his long-suffering wife Penelope awaits his return while fighting off a hoard of conniving suitors.
Along the way, the monarch and his dwindling army are faced with many of the Gods’ worst creations and temptations. Matt Damon leads an all-star cast in the must-see film of 2026.
The Odyssey stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o, with Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
