Clash of the Titans

Born of a god but raised among mortals, Perseus volunteers to lead a perilous quest to stop Hades from seizing Zeus's throne and unleashing chaos on the world. He and a small band of allies travel through treacherous seas and ruined lands, facing ungodly enemies and fearsome beasts along the way. The mission tests his courage and wits as he discovers pockets of strength he never trusted in himself. With family and fate hanging in the balance, he must decide how power should be used, and whether he can rise above his humanity to become something more. Along the way he learns who he is meant to be and earns the trust of those who doubt him for the world.

Released in 2010 and directed by Louis Leterrier, Clash of the Titans reimagines the Perseus myth as a modern blockbuster. It adapts classic Greek legends as a high spectacle remake rooted in the 1981 film and features Worthington and Arterton.

The film performed strongly at the global box office, taking in about 493 million worldwide and helping push 3D fantasy cinema into the spotlight, with audiences flocking to the format during peak summer releases around the world that year globally.

Its bold creature design and glossy battle sequences helped shape early 2010s fantasy blockbusters. The film popularized mythic set pieces on a grand scale and contributed to the era's push for immersive 3D experiences, leaving a recognizably stylized action palette. Its influence echoes in later mythic blockbusters and remakes globally.

Reviews acknowledged the film as a blockbuster ride with plenty of visual heat, while noting it weathered predictable beats. Core themes include destiny versus choice, responsibility, and the limits of power as Perseus accepts his role among gods and humans. Critics often note strong visuals yet call the plot predictable.
