Plot of the movie “Clash of the Titans 2: Wrath of the Titans”:
A
decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Sam
Worthington) is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman
and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a
struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans.
Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing
control of the imprisoned Titans led by Kronos: father of the
long-ruling brothers Zeus (Liam Neeson), Hades (Ralph Fiennes), and
Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful
father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a
dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus
cannot ignore his true calling when Hades and Ares (Édgar Ramírez) make
a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger
as Zeus's remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on
earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund
Pike), Poseidon's demigod son Agenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god
Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest
into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save
mankind.
Starring
Sam Worthington – Perseus (the demigod son of Zeus)
Ralph Fiennes – Hades (god of the underworld)
Liam Neeson – Zeus (the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus)
