Inside Jason and the Argonauts - DVD Extras
Es ist das Jahr 2000 vor Christus. Königssohn Jason ist erst vier Jahre alt, als sein herrschsüchtiger Onkel Pelias eine grausame Tat begeht: er tötet Jasons Vater und heiratet dessen Witwe, Königin Polymele. Jetzt regiert Pelias über die Stadt Iolcus. Jason konnte rechtzeitig vor dem Tyrann in Sicherheit gebracht werden. Als junger Mann kehrt Jason zurück nach Iolcus, um seinen rechtmäßigen Anspruch auf den Thron geltend zu machen. Doch Pelias droht Jason mit dem Tod. Es sei denn, der junge Held bringt ihm das sagenumwobene Goldene Vlies, nach dem Pelias schon lange sucht. Jason begibt sich mit einem Schiff und einer mutigen Mannschaft auf eine gefährliche Reise.
