Upon seeing Hades' sister Celesta (Belinda Waymouth), the embodiment of death, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) sorrowfully realizes that his old friend Jaris (Colin Moy) is about to die. With one day of life left in him, Jaris, a self-appointed vigilante, intends to kill as many local criminals as time allows -- including the members of a tough street gang. The only way Hercules can stop this one-man murder wave is to make a startling confession predicated upon a tragic incident in his youth. Ian Bohen makes his first series appearance as the younger Hercules. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Reading an ancient scroll at the behest of some villagers, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) inadvertently released the three long-dormant Titans, parents of the Olympian Gods.

A jewel-encrusted chalice is removed from its place of honor in the town of Parthus, bringing down the wrath of the gods in the form of a terrible rock storm. Hercules (Kevin Sorbo), guided by an all-wise Seer (Norman Forsey), tries to shepherd a group of refugees through the storm and into the safe harbor of Calydon. Though he confronts such obstacles as a treacherous swamp and a hugh pterodactyl, Hercules eventually discovers that the biggest threat to the safety of the refugees is their own leader, the shifty Broteas (John Sumner). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The second of five made-for-TV movies starring Kevin Sorbo as legendary muscleman Hercules, this one pits the title character against his most fearsome enemy--his own immortal stepmother, Hera. Using a number of disguises, the villainess does her best (or worst) to thwart Hercules in his search for the lost city of Troy. Before long, it is apparent that our hero is surrounded by nothing but enemies, save for the beautiful and mysterious Deineira (played by future Xena: Warrior Princess regular Renee O'Connor)--but can even she be trusted? Anthony Quinn is seen as Hercule's Olympian father Zeus. Hercules and the Lost Kingdom was syndicated in the US beginning in early May of 1994. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
