Hercules Unchained is the sequel to the 1950s block buster Hercules
that inspired the popularity of the 1960s sword and sandal craze. Steve Reeves returns as Hercules along with Sylva Koscina as his bride Iole.

On his way to Thebes, Greece, for an important diplomatic mission, Hercules drinks from a magic spring and loses his memory. He spends most of the movie in Queen Omphale of Lydia's pleasure gardens. While young Ulysses tries to help him regain his memory, political tensions increase in Thebes, and Hercules' wife finds herself in danger.

Features the final film appearance of wrestler Primo Carnera, who appears in the opening as the giant Antaeus, who dares to fight Hercules for Iole.

One of many films shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Also featured on Steve Smith's Playhouse under the name "Hercules Unchanged" with Steve Smith taking over the dialogue of Hercules.
