After the Trojan War, King Odysseus (Matt Damon) embarks on a perilous journey home. Throughout his trip, he contends with the whims of gods, faces off against mythological creatures, and confronts the limits of his own strength in existential trials. From Academy Award-winning director Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer) comes an epic cinematic adaptation of the ancient Greek text.
"A cinematic triumph. It’s a feat of blockbuster filmmaking that shows a director at the peak of his career, and his mournful testament to the hubris of humanity and the consequences of war."
–Hoai-Tran Bui
"It is an anomalous big-studio entertainment that Nolan has filled with stars and polished to a high gleam, turning a 3,000-year-old poem into a smart, thoughtful film with Old Hollywood allure."
–Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a watershed moment for filmmaking, re-introducing this legendary story to the masses courtesy of quite possibly the only modern director who has the ambition and guts to do it."
–Tori Brazier, Metro
