Legendary filmmaker Christopher Nolan tackles the ancient world with this epic adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. The story follows the Greek king Odysseus (Matt Damon) on his perilous ten-year journey home after the Trojan War, facing mythical creatures and personal demons along the way. The film features an all-star ensemble cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.

We discuss the online culture war surrounding the film's diverse casting and modern sensibilities, whether Nolan's grounded approach strips the myth of its magic, and how this adaptation compares to classic Hollywood epics of the past.
