There is a reason Hercules and the Lost Kingdom keeps coming up in conversation. Hercules and the Lost Kingdom uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Hercules comes to the aid of a young woman who is seeking the lost city of Troy. Eventually, Hercules leads her to a camp of refugees from the city, which has been taken over by Hera's Blue Priests. Hercules helps the refugees take back the city. Kevin Sorbo and Anthony Quinn lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Hercules and the Lost Kingdom came out in 1994. What separates Hercules and the Lost Kingdom from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something.
