screens December 11th at 7pm as the December
feature presented by the ODYSSEY FILM CLUB!
After saving the life of his royal father's usurper, Pelias
(Douglas Wilmer), whom he fails to recognize, Jason
(Todd Armstrong) is encouraged by the conniving
murderer to begin a quest in search of the Golden
Fleece. In doing so, Pelias hopes for Jason's death to
thwart the prophecy that he will reclaim the throne.
Along the journey, Jason is protected by the goddess
Hera (Honor Blackman), and his crew includes Hercules
(Nigel Green) and Acastus (Gary Raymond), a
saboteur planted by Pelias.
Featuring iconic stop-motion by Ray Harryhausen and a
heroic score by Bernard Herrmann, this film is not to be
