The Odyssey is Christopher Nolan’s ambitious cinematic adaptation of the ancient Greek epic by Homer. The film chronicles the 10-year journey of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, as he struggles to return home following the Trojan War.
After the fall of Troy, Odysseus (played by Cillian Murphy) faces numerous challenges from gods, monsters, and humans alike. From his encounter with the giant Cyclops, resisting the allure of the goddess Calypso (Florence Pugh), to clashing with the sorceress Circe (Jessica Chastain), each trial tests Odysseus’ bravery and cunning.
The film promises grand, visually stunning scenes, blending top-tier visual effects with deep character exploration. Under Nolan’s direction, The Odyssey is not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery, loyalty, and love for family.
With an A-list cast and Nolan’s signature filmmaking style, The Odyssey is set to be one of the most anticipated blockbusters of 2026.
