Nolan’s Odyssey Made Waves, But Did it Hit Home?

Inspired by the Homeric classic, Nolan’s Odyssey follows Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, as he makes his perilous way home to Ithaca after the sacking of Troy. Beset by storms, challenged by strange monsters, and struggling with the trust of his crew, Odysseus must defy the gods and fate to return to his wife and child ten years after he first left.
