Everybody knows the legend of Hercules, the mighty Greek warrior strong enough to lift up a corner of the Parthenon with one hand if he wants to sweep beneath it. At age 12, Hercules has big dreams. So despite opposition from his father, Zeus, young Hercules decides to leave Mt. Olympus and descends to Earth to experience life as a 'real' boy. He lands in present-day Burbank, California where his time-leaping sparks a chain of culture-clashing misadventures of Olympic proportions.
