LITTLE HERCULES (Richard Sandrak), lives on Mt. Olympus, the land of mythology and the home of the Gods. While being tutored by Socrates, Little Hercules says he wants to visit earth, go to a real school, and learn what it's like to be a real boy. But both his father, Zeus (wrestler Hulk Hogan), and Socrates (Elliott Gould, "Oceans 13," TV's "Friends") laugh at the idea.
Later, when he sees his chance, young Hercules flees from Mt. Olympus É and escapes through the heavens to a strange place . . . modern day Burbank, California.
LITTLE HERCULES then begins a series of wild misadventures, as he clashes with a different culture, a different time . . . and a different world.
While in California, LITTLE HERCULES ends up befriending a 13-year old boy, Curtis (Marc John Jeffries, "Keeping Up with the Steins"), who takes LITTLE HERCULES to his house where he lives with his young working mother, Dana (Robin Givens, "The Family that Preys," "Boomerang"). Believing that LITTLE HERCULES is lost, they take him in until they can find his parents. In the meantime, with the help of the school principal, Kevin (Judd Nelson, "New Jack City," "The Breakfast Club"), they teach LITTLE HERCULES how to communicate with his new family and his new world.
When his new extended family witnesses the incredible strength of young Hercules, they realize they are dealing with someone truly "extraordinary" -- and someone who needs to be protected from a culture who will never understand him.
Before LITTLE HERCULES can return home to Mt. Olympus, Marduk (wrestler The Big Show), an evil rival to Zeus, arrives on earth, determined to stop the boy from going back É and then force Zeus to accept the fact that Marduk is the greater God É and that the true home of the Gods is Marduk's BabylonÉnot the Mt. Olympus of Lord Zeus.
A huge final struggle erupts when Zeus and Marduk wager over the outcome of an Olympic competition at Hercules' school. LITTLE HERCULES is forced into rep-resenting his school against another young God of mythology, Kintaro. A gigantic final battle takes place between these two teen titans É unlike anything the world has ever seen.
