Hyderabad: Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey has finally arrived in theatres worldwide.

About The Odyssey

The Odyssey is based on the famous Greek epic poem written by Homer. The film follows the story of King Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, as he tries to return to his kingdom after the Trojan War.

His journey takes nearly 10 years and is filled with dangerous creatures, monsters and unexpected challenges. While Odysseus is away, Queen Penelope, played by Anne Hathaway, and their son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland, struggle to protect their kingdom from men who want to take over the throne.

Christopher Nolan had reportedly wanted to make this film for many years before finally bringing the story to the big screen.

The Odyssey Cast

The film features a star-studded cast led by Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Tom Holland as Telemachus. The cast also includes Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Charlize Theron as Calypso and Lupita Nyong'o, who plays the dual roles of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
