Journey to Promethea

2010 · 83 min

A scrappy, sincere sword-and-prophecy quest that plods earnestly through forests and dungeons with more ambition than polish.

Directed by
Dan Garcia
Genres
Action, Fantasy, Science fiction
Overview
A tyrannical king reigns over his kingdom with an iron fist, but there is hope. A prophecy foretold long ago states that a boy will rise up against the oppressive regime and lead his people to the promised land of Promethea. This is the action-packed journey of one boy that sparks a rebellion that ignites a vicious clash where only one group can emerge alive and victorious.
