    Full of pride, Cassiopeia compares her daughter's beauty to that of Hera. Angered, the queen of the gods has Poseidon unleash the monstrous beast Craken to destroy their village unless Cassiopeia's daughter, Andromeda, is sacrificed. Perseus, the son of Zeus, becomes enchanted with the breathtaking beauty and is determined to save her from this fate. The young hero, armed with a magical shield, a winged stallion and a mechanical owl, discovers the only way to defeat the monster is with the head of Medusa. The gods watch and intervene on Perseus' quest to save his beloved.

    This was legendary special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen's last film before he retired from creating movie magic. L.A. LAW's Harry Hamlin stars as the Greek mythological hero Perseus who fights snake-haired Medusa and two-headed dogs to save the lovely Andromeda (Judi Bowker). Laurence Olivier, as Zeus, is one of the many screen legends in this adventure. Burgess Meredith, Claire Bloom, Maggie Smith and Ursula Andress round out the cast as the Gods of Mount Olympus.

    Director Desmond Davis was camera operator on TOM JONES and A TASTE OF HONEY, two influential early 1960s British films. Writer Beverly Cross was one of the writers on 1963's Ray Harryhausen film, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS.

Clash of the Titans

floridagatorbait from Atlanta, Mar 4, 2008

Definitely a classic one to own. Hadn't seen in years and wanted to add to the collection and eventually for my kids. Makes you laugh at the special effects compared to today, but also realize how far along it was during its time. Great one to own....

Clash of the Titans - flashback

clyess from Washington, Sep 11, 2006

I remember when this movie came out in the theatre. I thought it was the greatest movie ever -- right up there with Star Wars and Dragonslayer. It is a good story, although I admit that that special effects are cheesy, but for the 80s you cannot expect more. This is a classic, along with Fantastic Voyage, Barbarella, and any of the old Star Trek flicks. Star Wars got revamped and rereleased to this generation, these are collecting dust but descent.
