Before Christopher Nolan brought Homer’s epic back to the big screen, there was Jason and the Argonauts, the timeless fantasy adventure that inspired generations of filmmakers. Embarking on one of the greatest adventures in Greek mythology, Jason (Todd Armstrong) assembles a fearless crew of heroes to sail aboard the Argo in search of the legendary Golden Fleece. Their perilous voyage pits them against harpies, giant bronze warriors, deadly sea monsters, and an army of skeleton warriors in a spectacular fantasy epic brought to life by the groundbreaking stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen.

“The greatest special-effects movie ever made.”

“Harryhausen’s stop-motion animation remains astonishingly imaginative, culminating in the legendary skeleton battle that has never lost its power to amaze.”
— Time Out

“One of the defining fantasy adventures of the twentieth century, and a landmark in cinematic visual effects.”
— The Guardian
