Description:

Herc and Iolaus find themselves in parallel worlds, each saddled with lookalikes of the other who act very differently. Meanwhile, Zeus appears to be dying.
When Iolaus is accidentally transported to a strange parallel universe, Hercules must find a way to get there, not only for Iolaus' sake but also to save his dying father, Zeus.
Following a battle with Ares, Hercuels races to rescue Iolaus from a cutthroat parallel universe and save the life of his father, Zeus.
Hercules enters a portal into a bizarre mirror universe where everyone is the exact opposite of their earthly counterparts.
As Hercules and Iolaus save a princess from sacrifice, Zeus' lightning bolts open a portal to a parallel universe of doubles.

No heart-throwing, love-spewing, smooth-talking, Ares impersonaters were harmed during the production of this motion picture.
