Immortals Plot Summary

What happens in Immortals from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Before humanity or beasts roamed the Earth, a fierce conflict among immortals erupted in the heavens. The victorious declared themselves as gods, while their defeated foes were called Titans and cast into the depths of Mount Tartarus. Among the spoils of their battles was the Epirus Bow, a weapon of extraordinary potency that was lost on Earth. Fast forward to 1228 B.C., where the mortal king Hyperion of Heraklion is on a relentless quest to reclaim this bow, seeking to unleash the imprisoned Titans as revenge against the gods who failed to save his family. In his pursuit, he captures the virgin oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto), convinced she can pinpoint the weapon’s hidden location.
