Odysseus travels via land, by sea, and through caverns, one of which is home to a menacingly enormous beast that lurks in the shadows. Additionally, there are fleeting glimpses of Anne Hathaway as Odysseus' wife Penelope and Tom Holland as his son Telemachus.

The film also features Matt Damon, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo and more in the pivotal roles.

The movie depicts Matt Damon's portrayal of the Greek hero Odysseus as he makes the arduous journey home following the Trojan War. In February, Universal published a first-look image of Damon dressed in costume.
