Hercules is in New Zealand turned miniseries from the year 2005 , the life of the Greek hero Heracles told.
action
The young Hercules killed snakes with his bare hands as a baby and has to assert himself against the gods even at a young age . He unintentionally kills his three sons through an intrigue. As a penance, he has to do six tasks to wash away his guilt, which he succeeds.
background
As in many films ( The Bible - Jesus , The Bible - Solomon ), director Roger Young worked with film editor Benjamin A. Weissman and composer Patrick Williams . The two-parter takes some liberties. Hercules actually had to complete twelve tasks, whereas the film only mentions six (taming the man-eating horses is also mixed with the procurement of the golden belt of the Amazon queen Hippolyte). Unlike in the ancient texts, he does not kill his lyre teacher Linos. He knocks him down, but it turns out that he is still alive and that he accompanies Hercules after killing the Hydra. In addition, the lion to be killed is shown as a sphinx and the Minoan bull is a human in the film. This turns out to be the Cerberus (the three-headed watchdog of the underworld), again in human form (the three-headed dog therefore does not exist at all).
Charisma
In the United States, the film was broadcast on NBC on May 16, 2005 . The German premiere took place on September 22, 2005 on ProSieben .
