Hades confronts Perseus, but the latter, invoking Zeus, hurls his sword at Hades, forcing him back to the Underworld. Prokopion, a cult leader who worships Hades, attempts to kill Perseus, but Cepheus intervenes and both of them are then crushed by the Kraken's falling claw. Perseus arrives and exposes Medusa's head to the Kraken, which gradually petrifies and crumbles. The winged horse Pegasus arrives and takes Perseus back to Argos as Hades, having manipulated Zeus and the gods in earning their trust, releases the Kraken. As Io lies dying, she urges Perseus to save Andromeda and Argos. Perseus and Calibos fight, ending the battle after Perseus picks up the Olympian sword and kills Calibos, restoring his human form at the last moment. As he leaves the temple, Calibos appears and fatally stabs Io.
Medusa kills everyone except Perseus, who finally manages to behead her by using the underside of his shield to see her with his back turned. Upon arrival, Perseus and his remaining companions enter Medusa's temple lair, while Io remains outside. They arrive at the lair of the Stygian Witches who are forced to reveal a weapon to defeat the Kraken: the head of the gorgon Medusa, who resides in the Underworld. They are rescued by a band of Djinn, desert sorcerers who tame the remaining scorpions and lend their aid to Perseus and his group. During the fight, Draco severs Calibos' hand, forcing him to retreat to a desert where his blood from the hand stump conjures giant scorpions which attack the group. Soon after, they are attacked by a decrepit Acrisius, now known as Calibos, who was corrupted by Hades, and sent to kill Perseus. To help his son, Zeus tries to give Perseus a sword forged on Olympus, which he refuses.
Perseus, Io, and the King's Guard led by Draco journey to the Stygian Witches, seeking a way to defeat the Kraken. Perseus meets Io, a mysterious woman cursed with immortality, who confirms his origin. He threatens to unleash the Kraken - a sea monster borne from his flesh - against Argos, unless Andromeda is offered as a sacrifice. When Cassiopeia begins boasting of her daughter to the gods, the revelry is interrupted by Hades, who exposes Perseus' lineage to Zeus and rapidly ages Cassiopeia. They are celebrating their campaign against the gods, while their daughter Princess Andromeda disapproves of her parents leading the city's rebellion. Found by another group of soldiers, Perseus is brought before King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. Hades appears and destroys the family's fishing vessel Spyros and his family drown Perseus is the only survivor. The Furies are then unleashed and slaughter the soldiers. Years later, Perseus and his family watch as soldiers from the city of Argos destroy the statue of Zeus, declaring war on the gods. Thereafter, Perseus is found and raised by the fisherman Spyros and his wife Marmara. The king then throws the chest into the sea. In Zeus' retaliation, a lightning bolt strikes the king and severely deforms him. Upon discovering the conception, an enraged Acrisius orders the queen's execution and locks the newborn child in a chest with her corpse. The demigod Perseus was conceived by Zeus and the human queen Danae during the siege of her husband King Acrisius at Mount Olympus. Over time, however (shortly after both the Trojan War & Odysseus' 10-year journey back to Ithaca), some mortals began to defy their creators. Zeus created the mortals, whose worship maintained the gods' immortality. The film's success led to a sequel, Wrath of the Titans, released in March 2012.Īfter defeating the Titans, the gods divided the world among themselves Zeus took the skies, Poseidon the seas, and Hades, deceived by Zeus, was left to rule the Underworld. Ĭlash of the Titans grossed $493 million worldwide, though it received generally negative reviews from critics and received two Golden Raspberry Awards nominations.
