Following the Trojan War, the Greek king Odysseus (Oscar-winner Matt Damon) faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca and his faithful wife, Penelope (Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway). Encountering mythological beings like the Cyclops Polyphemus (Tony Award-winner Bill Irwin), the Sirens, and the nymph Calypso (Oscar-winner Charlize Theron) along the way, Odysseus and his crew struggle to return to their homeland over the course of a decade, while Penelope and their son Telemachus (Tom Holland) face a usurper (Robert Pattinson) intent on taking the throne.

Christopher Nolan—the indelible mind that has helmed films such as Inception, Oppenheimer, Memento, Interstellar, and Dunkirk—directs this bold retelling of Homer's classic Greek epic. Shot entirely on IMAX film and featuring a cast almost as legendary as their characters (Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar-nominee Elliot Page, Emmy-winners John Leguizamo and Zendaya, and Mia Goth, to name a few), The Odyssey is a nigh-mythological cinematic experience that you won't want to miss.

Photosensitivity warning: Please be aware that The Odyssey contains a scene with intense flashing and strobing lights that lasts for several minutes around one hour and 29 minutes into the film.
