Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Specials: Episode Guide & Ratings

A village besieged by mysterious unseen monsters is the setting for this disarming display of evil that has Hercules taken captive and tortured under the watchful eye of his evil stepmother, Hera. Swords, sorcery and stunning special effects--including Hera's gruesome disguises -- make this an adventure that you won't want to miss.

Hercules is pursued by his deadly, implacable enemy, his stepmother Hera, who uses many supernatural disguises to try and destroy Hercules as he searches for the lost city of Troy. She lay in wait as Hercules undertakes his epic quest. His only ally is young Deianeira, a beautiful but stubborn woman whose secret destiny even outstrips that of Hercules himself.

All over the world, the fires are dying. The planet will become an icy wilderness. Mankind is threatened with extinction. At the heart of this fiendish plot lies Hera, Queen of the Gods and Hercules' implacable enemy, who has taken the eternal torch before it is extinguished. Many dangers lay in wait: an invicible giant, a treacherous wood sprite and the wrath and jealousy of his father: Zeus, king of the gods. But Hercules must not fail; if the Eternal Torch dies, all life dies with it.

When villagers begin disappearing it is discovered that they had fallen through a crack in the earth which goes straight to Hades. Hercules, once again comes to the rescue and faces one of his most difficult challenges, and must prove himself as a man as well as a god.

Hercules has settled down with his wife and children, but misses the good old days traveling around having exciting adventures. Then one day he is persuaded out of his farming "retirement" to help a distant village which is being attacked by an unseen monster.

Animated cross over with Xena. Mighty Zeus brings Hercules' mother, Alcmene, to Mount Olympus, and Hercules, believing she has been kidnapped, leads a rescue mission to save her. Zeus' jealous wife, Hera, decides that it should now be her time to rule the universe. Hera steals the Chronos Stone, source of the God's power, and unleashes the four Titans from their eons of imprisonment. With these angry behemoths on the loose, only the combined forces of Hercules and Xena, together with their trusty sidekicks Iolaus and Gabrielle, can save Mount Olympus.
