CINEWORLD, PLAZA HERCULES 3D (12A) – Dwayne Johnson flexes his pecs as the eponymous hero of lore in Brett Ratner’s testosterone-fuelled adventure based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars.

Greek demigod Hercules (Johnson) completes his 12 mythical labours, which include slaying a hydra, capturing the Cretan Bull and defeating hellhound Cerberus, which guards the entrance to the underworld. The deposed King of Thrace (John Hurt) hires Hercules and his band of mercenaries to train his army and bring to an end a bitter civil war that has stained the land with blood.

Unimaginable villains test Hercules’s mythical power and he rages against his fate to be blessed with the strength of a God but endure the suffering of a mortal.
