King Androcles of Thebes commands a ship in search of a threat to Greece, predicted by an atmospheric oracle. Hercules is part of the crew, but the strongman falls overboard in a thick fog. Washed ashore, he saves a young Ismene from Proteus, an evil, shape-shifting creature. Ismene takes Hercules to Atlantis, where he discovers that her mother, Queen Antinea, has captured Androcles. Hercules schemes to rescue him and thwart Antinea’s dream of world conquest.

In my efforts to see all the Reg Park Hercules flicks from the 60s, I conquered Hercules and the Captive Women, which easily has the best production values I’ve seen of all the Herc flicks (3 so far) as Hercules is up against the Queen of Atlantis and her sinister plot to rule the world. This installment, released in 1961 and directed by Vittorio Cottafavi, isn’t any better than the others yet the quality transfer and decent FX make it passable. Altho it does play like something you might’ve watched in your Greek Mythology class.
