Theseus rallies the Hellenic army and leads them against Hyperion's forces, killing Lysander. Next day, Hyperion uses the Bow to breach the city's immense wall, killing General Helios and the wall's defenders. Theseus warns King Cassander of Hyperion's plans to destroy the kingdom's children, make their future generations his own descendants, and release the Titans, but Cassander dismisses the gods as myth, intending to negotiate peace. Theseus, Stavros, and Phaedra gallop to Mount Tartarus. Before ascending with Athena, Zeus tells Theseus that he and his allies will receive no more aid from the gods as he must justify the faith that Zeus has in him alone. Zeus suddenly descends and kills Ares for disobeying his law, he spares Athena's life because she did not physically interfere like Ares did. Athena then provides them with horses to reach Mount Tartarus. Ares directly intervenes to save Theseus, killing the attackers. At the temple, Stavros and Theseus are lured into an ambush. They discover Hyperion was torturing Phaedra's sister oracles to force them to tell where Phaedra is but they refused. Hyperion and his forces are away at Mount Tartarus. She begs him to take her virginity, stripping her of the visions she deems a curse and they have sex. Phaedra tends Theseus and falls in love with him. Theseus kills him and uses the Bow to kill his allies' captors before collapsing from poisoned scratches inflicted by the Beast. He frees it, but is attacked by Hyperion's henchman the Beast, whose armour resembles a Minotaur. This done, Theseus discovers the Epirus Bow in nearby rock. She says Theseus must return home to bury his mother, Aethra. Afterward, Phaedra sees a vision of Theseus standing near a shrouded body. Poseidon, unseen by Zeus dives from Olympus into the ocean causing a tidal wave that wipes out Hyperion's men. They pursue Hyperion, but are overwhelmed by Hyperion's forces when trying to seize a boat. She uses the chaos to escape with Theseus, Stavros, and other slaves. Phaedra and her sisters, assaulted by Hyperion's guards, kill them, provoking a riot. Phaedra, held captive nearby, sees a vision of Theseus supporting Hyperion. Theseus is manacled to the thief Stavros. Unless the Titans are released, they must have faith in mankind's free will to defeat Hyperion. He commands his fellow gods not to interfere in mortal affairs as gods. Hyperion's forces attack Theseus' village, murdering Aethra, and capturing Theseus. Lysander departs and offers his service and the village's location to Hyperion, who accepts, and maims Lysander as a traitor. Theseus battles them until General Helios discharges Lysander for his actions. His mother Aethra was raped by Zeus, and Theseus was born, so they are "outcasts" forced to remain behind by Lysander and his Athenian soldiers. Villagers prepare to flee Hyperion's army, among them Theseus, a warrior trained by the Old Man, who says Theseus has been chosen by the gods. He heard that a man named Theseus will slay him. Hyperion attempts to capture the virgin oracle Phaedra, to use her dreams and visions to find it. King Hyperion searches for the bow to release the Titans. The Twelve Olympians imprisoned the Titans beneath Mount Tartarus, losing the powerful Epirus Bow. Premiering in Los Angeles on November 8, 2011, the film received mixed reviews, with critics praising Tarsem's direction and visuals, acting, ensemble cast, action sequences, production and costume design, and music score, but criticized the film's storytelling and the lack of character development. The film was released in 2D and in 3D (using the Real D 3D and Digital 3D formats) on Novemby Relativity Media, becoming a commercial success at the box office by grossing over $226 million. Principal photography began in Montreal on April 5, 2010. It uses motifs of the Greek myths of Theseus, the return of the Heraclids, the Minotaur, and the Titanomachy, but the plot does not resemble any coherent narrative originating from Greek mythology. The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals. Immortals is a 2011 American fantasy action film directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, John Hurt, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, Freida Pinto, Joseph Morgan, Daniel Sharman, and Mickey Rourke.
