Don Chaffey directs this classic 1960s adventure starring Todd Armstrong and Douglas Wilmer. Two decades after the King of Thessaly was murdered by his infant son, Jason (Armstrong) returns to the kingdom to make his claim to the throne. In order to be proved the rightful king, however, Jason must find and retrieve the magical golden fleece. As he embarks on his quest with a loyal army in tow, Jason discovers quickly that his journey will not be simple. As they come across a 100-foot bronze giant, a venomous creature with seven heads and an army of skeletons seeking a battle, Jason and his crew must fight the hardest fight of their lives if they are to succeed in bringing home the golden fleece.

Amazon.com Is your classical Greek rusty? This is just the thing–a feast of epic Greek mythology–and the classic tale of Good (Jason, Theseus, Hercules, Orpheus) versus Evil (angry gods, Poseidon, Harpies, the women of Lemnos) is a great introduction. The plot has been entertaining people for thousands of years and is still going strong–now strengthened by great special effects and good acting. Sure, some people will think this version isn’t “high culture” enough (it’s a bit reminiscent of The Clash of the Titans), but those folks should probably be reading Bulfinch’s Mythology instead of watching TV anyway. The DVD includes a “making of” documentary, “notable and quotable,” detailed cast and crew information, scene access, and Dolby surround sound. Even hard-core fans of Ray Harryhausen’s 1963 stop-motion-animation version will find room in their hearts (and DVD libraries) for this one. Although the basic plot elements are the same, the two versions achieve very different (and both quite enjoyable) effects. The new Jason and the Argonauts is something kids and adults can all enjoy. –Tara Chace Product Description Inspired by the Greek myth, the story begins when the fearless explorer Jason returns to the kingdom of Thessaly to make his rightful claim to the throne, but the gods proclaim that he must first find the magical Golden Fleece. Consulting Hera, the Queen of gods, Jason recruits the Argonauts to crew his ship, and they embark on their eventful journey.

One of the most legendary adventures in all mythology is brought to life in Jason and the Argonauts, a thrilling tale of a young adventurer’s perilous quest to find the coveted Golden Fleece in a dazzling mixture of breath-taking special effects, beautiful locations and fascinating characters. It’s 2000 B.C. in Ancient Greece, and the city of Iolcus is under attack. Jason is only three years old when his father King Aeson is killed by his uncle, the evil tyrant Pelias (Dennis Hopper), who then claims the throne. Twenty years later, Jason (Jason London) is told of his past. It is time to fulfil his destiny and reclaim his father’s kingdom. But when Jason arrives back in Iolcus, Pelias quickly sentences him to death and will only spare his life if he brings back the coveted Golden Fleece, considered to be the greatest gift from the god’s to man. Jason builds a ship, the Argo, and together with his team of Argonauts, begins the treacherous journey to the island of Colchis. There, according to the blind prophet Phineas (Sir Derek Jacobi), an enchanting sorceress named Medea faithfully guards the fleece. Against impossible odds and overwhelming obstacles – including a terrifying sea giant the size of an island – deadly flying Harpies and an army of beautiful but murderous women ruled by Hypsipyle (Natasha Henstridge), Jason is determined to complete the mission….
