Original Title: Ercole e la regina di Lidia

En route to Thebes, for an important diplomatic mission, Hercules drinks from a magic spring and loses his memory. He spends most of the movie, in the pleasure gardens of Queen Omphale of Lydia. While young Ulysses tries to help him regain his memory, political tensions escalate in Thebes, and Hercules’ new wife finds herself in mortal danger.

This spectacular production boasts lavish sets, gorgeous women, and sprawling battle sequences that make it the best Hercules movie ever.
