The Odyssey

About this event

After his Oscar-winning portrait of Robert Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan moves from the atomic to the mythic with his adaptation of arguably the most famous story ever told.

Along the way, the monarch and his dwindling army are faced with many of the Gods’ worst creations and temptations.
