Hercules (Gordon Scott) sets out to save the city of Troy from a horrible sea monster. Meanwhile, the city is threatened by a different kind of monster--a smarmy politician who will stop at nothing to seize the throne.
Practical Effects
The sea monster is gloriously unconvincing and absolutely perfect.
Acting
Gordon Scott's biceps deserve their own billing.
Production
Shot in Italy with that unmistakable Cinecittà cheap grandeur.
Director
Albert Band
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was actually a television pilot that never got picked up, which explains the breakneck pacing and unresolved subplots.
Albert Band directed this after producing several Sergio Leone westerns, bringing that same exploitation-meets-epic sensibility to peplum television.
