action

After a long absence, Hercules returns to his homeland, the city-state of Sullam. There the criminal adviser of the city of Warkalla, who cares nothing about the well-being of the residents but everything about the gold treasure of the empire, had Hercules' long-time friend, the young Queen Mila, captured and enthroned his mistress Cleopatra instead. Hercules allies with the freedom fighters of the area, among them Janine and Macigno. Together with them, after surviving a number of dangers and battles, he can reinstate the rightful Queen and kill Warkalla.

criticism

"The 50th script version of an old, old story, which we as kiddies didn't even realize at the time."

- Dictionary of fantasy films

"Trivial series product of the Herkules-Welle, which has little to do with ancient legends and mostly looks ridiculous."

- Lexicon of international film

Remarks
