Hercules wants to be famous forever and the only way to do that is to complete the tasks the King sets him.

The tasks won't be easy; in fact, Hercules will have to face some of the most terrifying and dangerous creatures that live on earth – and in hell! Join Hercules as he wrestles a man-eating lion, tricks the god Atlas, and tries to kidnap Hades' ferocious guard dog.
