00:00:00The mighty sons of Hercules once thundered through the years.
00:00:07These men of steel could never feel the curse of a coward's fears.
00:00:13The mighty sons of Hercules were men as men should be.
00:00:19They burned with dreams, then turned their dreams into history.
00:00:25The mighty sons of Hercules were men as men should be.
00:00:31They shook the world and shook the world, the sons of Hercules.
00:00:37The mighty sons of Hercules once thundered through the years.
00:00:56These men of steel could never feel the curse of a coward's fears.
00:01:02The mighty sons of Hercules were men as men should be.
00:01:08They burned with dreams, then turned their dreams into history.
00:01:32The Mighty Sons of Hercules
00:02:02Thousands of years ago, an immense glacial ice cap spread over a great part of the earth,
00:02:18and vast regions were blanketed in snow and fatal cold.
00:02:23Shelter and food for animals and primitive man became scarcer and scarcer.
00:02:29Soon large parts of the earth became unlivable,
00:02:33and beasts and men alike fled to the few warmer lands that were left.
00:02:39Great numbers died in the wanderings, but small bands did survive
00:02:44to become dwellers in the caves, or nomads,
00:02:48and to become worshippers of the very forces of nature which had brought them such agony.
00:02:54Of these, one was the tribe of Dora, worshippers of the sun.
00:03:00Dorak!
00:03:02Father, the frozen wastes are finished.
00:03:07Yes, the sun god has guided us on our march, Idar.
00:03:12Forward!
00:03:24The End
00:03:54The End
00:04:19Here we will build a village,
00:04:22and here we will live in peace and after us our children,
00:04:27and all the children who come after them, if the sun god gives us his protection.
00:04:52For the Sacrifice
00:05:22The End
00:05:34May it never go out, Camel, if our tribe is to survive.
00:05:38Don't worry, Dorak.
00:05:41Presently they will have finished building our village,
00:05:47and your son, Idar, must make up his mind to choose a woman.
00:05:52I think he's already done that.
00:05:56Idar, you are the son of Dorak, and one day you will be chief of the tribe.
00:06:01It's your right to choose the woman you want, but I can't wait forever.
00:06:04You must decide, or I'll have to...
00:06:06Why can't you be quiet? It got away.
00:06:08But answer me first, Idar.
00:06:10I asked you when you'll choose your woman.
00:06:12I'll pick when it pleases me.
00:06:16And maybe it won't even be you.
00:06:18You're a fool to talk like that.
00:06:22I promised you I'd wait, but now I'll choose a man I like.
00:06:26Any man. I'm 18 and I'll be old soon.
00:06:30I'm talking to you, Idar, and you're not even listening.
00:06:35I've got you. Look what I...
00:06:38Hey, where are you going?
00:06:42Raya.
00:06:54But you're my woman, Raya.
00:07:12Raya.
00:07:29Idar, we'll make our cavern the prettiest in the village.
00:07:32Of course we will.
00:07:34Will it be ready for the day of our marriage, Idar?
00:07:36The sun I guard must appear three times.
00:07:38We have plenty of time, Raya.
00:07:40When your blood mingles with mine,
00:07:42I'll be the happiest girl under the sun.
00:07:53Over here, hurry!
00:08:11Idar!
00:08:19Don't move!
00:08:26Stay where you are! Don't move!
00:08:41Stay where you are!
00:08:55Idar is my name. I am the son of a chief.
00:08:59You have saved me.
00:09:01And you and your tribe have the right to command us.
00:09:05I belong to no tribe, Idar.
00:09:08And I have no wish to rule you.
00:09:11As I live alone, I am a free man.
00:09:15Idar, don't let him go away.
00:09:18We could all be safe if only he'd stay with us.
00:09:22Please, stay with us.
00:09:24I thank you, but I must go.
00:09:27I am needed somewhere else.
00:09:29I don't know where or how it is my destiny.
00:09:33Farewell.
00:09:35May your sun god give you all possible happiness in this valley.
00:09:39Wait! Wait!
00:09:41Just tell us your name.
00:09:43It's Marxis, son of Hercules.
00:09:46What a strange man, Idar.
00:09:48Farewell.
00:09:54I have a feeling we shall meet him again soon.

00:23:50to your days.
00:24:02More.
00:24:12You will be my woman.
00:24:14I am not at your disposal, Fawn.
00:24:16I am not a slave.
00:24:18I am chief of this tribe.
00:24:20I'll take you whenever I like.
00:24:23Are you so sure?
00:24:25More.
00:24:26No.
00:24:32Do you see this skin, Fawn?
00:24:35It's the one you wear yourself.
00:24:37It's worn by the chiefs of our tribe and you know it.
00:24:41My father and all those who came before him have worn them since those ancient days which
00:24:45are lost in the mists of time.
00:24:48But you have only worn it for a few summers and you did not gain it by skill and bravery.
00:24:53You stole it from my father and my brothers after you had killed them all.
00:24:59Their heads are still there in the sacrificial cave.
00:25:04How could I become your woman?
00:25:08You will be, but I swear it.
00:25:13I'll tame you yet.
00:25:15You may be sure.
00:25:20And a lot sooner than you think.
00:25:26Ido's come back!
00:25:51May the sun god be praised.
00:25:54You've come back, Ido.
00:25:56Tell me, where have they taken all our poor women?
00:25:59We were tracking them, but later the rain began to fall and then all their tracks disappeared.
00:26:07You!
00:26:09You, god of the sun!
00:26:12Protect us and not our enemies.
00:26:14Why do you let all our shelters be demolished?
00:26:17All our works go to ruin?
00:26:19All our weapons of defense be destroyed?
00:26:22Why do you let us die?
00:26:25Why do you let us die?
00:26:28Why do you let us die?
00:26:31Why do you let us die?
00:26:33Why do you let us die?
00:26:35Wait.
00:26:36Are you sleeping up there?
00:26:38Why don't you wake up and help us to defend ourselves?
00:26:40Enough, Ido, enough!
00:26:43What would become of our lives, Ido, if there were no sun?
00:26:46Everything comes from him.
00:26:48Would you offend him and have him terrify the world once more with rivers of fire?
00:26:52Would you have him crumble mountains, throw great rocks into the sky,
00:26:56and make the earth heave and tremble?
00:26:59You are wise, Gamal.
00:27:01But tell me in what way we have offended the sun god.
00:27:05Why has he taken away the gift of fire?
00:27:08How will we live without it?
00:27:10Who will defend us from the wild beasts and from the cold?
00:27:13We will die of cold.
00:27:15We won't even be able to cook our food anymore.
00:27:18Perhaps, Gamal.
00:27:20Under the ashes.
00:27:22It's useless, Ido.
00:27:25The fire is dead.
00:27:27Fire never dies.
00:27:31I know everything, Ido.
00:27:33Poltik told me what happened.
00:27:34But to look around is enough.
00:27:36We could have been happy in this village.
00:27:39We only wanted to live in peace.
00:27:41Why did they have to attack us?
00:27:43I think I know who they are.
00:27:45And the caves that shelter these people.
00:27:47The Druids.
00:27:48Ruled by the cruel chief Fulan.
00:27:51We'll teach them a lesson.
00:27:53We'll do whatever you say.
00:27:57Leave some men to guard the village.
00:27:59You and the others come with me.
00:28:03Oh, the fire.
00:28:09Two stones solve the problem.
00:28:19Let's go.
00:28:29Let's go.
00:28:59Let's go.
00:29:13Raya's necklace.
00:29:15What did I tell you?
00:29:17The road is right.
00:29:19Yes, you were right.
00:29:29Let's go.
00:29:39Keep an eye on the bushes.
00:29:41Ido, come with me.
00:29:59Let's go.
00:30:29Let's go.
00:30:53It's impossible to get in.
00:30:55We'll never make it.
00:31:00Look.
00:31:02Where does that water come from?
00:31:06It looks like...
00:31:08An underground river.
00:31:10Yes.
00:31:11And maybe it comes from the caves.
00:31:23Be back here tomorrow.
00:31:25And I'll move the stone when the moon comes up.
00:31:27You can't go in there all alone.
00:31:29I'll be all right.
00:31:31Go.
00:31:57Let's go.
00:32:57The End
00:33:27To be continued...
00:33:57A few hours later...
00:34:08It's time to go.
00:34:10Why don't we go down and wait by the caves of Fuad?
00:34:13Yes, we'll go down and wait for the sun to set.
00:34:17At nightfall...
00:34:19We'll attack.
00:34:22Come on.
00:34:27Let's go.
00:34:57A few hours later...
00:35:27A few hours later...
00:35:58A few hours later...
00:36:11Who are you?
00:36:13And you?
00:36:14I'm Moa.
00:36:16Oh, you're wounded.
00:36:18Come. I know how to heal you.
00:36:20It's nothing.
00:36:22Why do you want to help me?
00:36:24Your eyes are good.
00:36:26You're from the Druids.
00:36:29I'm not one of them.
00:36:31Who are you then?
00:36:33Where do you come from?
00:36:35From very far away.
00:36:37Do you have a name?
00:36:39Maxis, son of Hercules.
00:36:42Oh, it's a beautiful name.
00:36:44But what are you doing here?
00:36:46Are you looking for something?
00:36:48Yes, I'm looking for trouble.
00:36:50It's my own fault.
00:36:52I've always been like that.
00:36:54You know, when I was very young...
00:36:56I remember...
00:36:58Someone once told me...
00:37:00Hercules was my father.
00:37:02And the moon, my mother.
00:37:04I'm not like other men, you understand, Moa?
00:37:07I like you as you are.
00:37:11You aren't a friend of Phuon's, are you?
00:37:14Are you?
00:37:15I hate him.
00:37:17One day, if the moon will help...
00:37:19I shall see Phuon dead at my feet.
00:37:22Well, if that's your trouble...
00:37:24Then I can help you.
00:37:26You see, I'm here to teach Phuon a lesson.
00:37:29And also to set free the women he captured from the nomad tribe.
00:37:33Alone?
00:37:35Well, I could do it alone, perhaps.
00:37:38But I have some friends outside who will help me.
00:37:41Hurry then.
00:37:43For tonight, when the moon rises...
00:37:45The women will be taken to the sacrificial cave.
00:37:48And their heads will be cut off.
00:37:50Don't worry.
00:37:51I think things will go differently.
00:37:54Let's go.
00:38:21Don't make any noise.
00:38:23We'll cross to the other side of the gully.

00:42:06My people of the caves.
00:42:09At last the time of the sacrifice has come.
00:42:12The allgodess...
00:42:14The sacrifice of these virgins awaits you.
00:42:17Appear in all your divine splendor and give us an omen of your favor, O pale shining moon.
00:42:23We thank you for strengthening the hearts of our men, that they could bring destruction to our enemies.
00:42:28And gratefully we sacrifice these other virgins.
00:42:45Ma!
00:42:53Ma!
00:42:55It's for one. I must stop him.
00:43:06Where were you?
00:43:08I was waiting for you.
00:43:12Come.
00:43:17Your place is there, beside me.
00:43:30No! No!

00:43:35No! No!
00:43:38No!
00:43:47No! No!
00:44:08What's happening?
00:44:39Look, the stone's moving.
00:44:47Come on, let's go.
00:45:09They're here.
00:45:15Leave them alone! Kill them!
00:45:18Kill them! Drive them out! Kill them!
00:45:38No!
00:45:59No! Ida! Ida!
00:46:09No!
00:46:23Go! Go! Back up! It's the nomads! Stop them!
00:46:29No!
00:46:36No!

00:46:49Agh!
00:46:57No!

00:47:09Agni!

00:47:48No!
00:48:18No!
00:48:24That way! Go that way!
00:48:26You mean it'll be safe for the women?
00:48:28By darn! That way!
00:48:29Come on! Follow me! Hurry!
00:48:40Give them the way! I'll stop the group!
00:48:42Faster! Faster!
00:48:49Agh!
00:48:59Go with the women! Hurry!
00:49:12Hurry! This way!
00:49:18Hurry! Hurry!
00:49:23Hold the rock!
00:49:42This way! Come on! Follow me!
00:49:49It's moving! Come on!
00:49:55After them! Bring the net!
00:50:00Follow me!
00:50:09Be careful! We'll cross over there!
00:50:19No!
00:50:27Faster! They're coming!
00:50:40Agh!
00:50:42Agh!
00:50:46Hurry! The Jews are right behind us!
00:50:49Agh!
00:51:10Quicker, Ida! They're almost here! Don't wait for me!
00:51:15Go on!
00:51:18Careful!
00:51:25Go on, Ida! Save your people! I'll leave you here!
00:51:28Get away quickly! Don't worry about me!
00:51:33Come on, Ida!
00:51:42There they go! Come on!
00:51:48Agh!
00:52:03Agh!
00:52:18This man of the plains...
00:52:21...dared to enter our village...
00:52:24...causing many of our warriors...
00:52:27...to die uselessly.
00:52:30Unfortunately, his men...
00:52:33...have fled.
00:52:36But he is here!
00:52:47May his death...
00:52:49...be slow and painful.
00:52:52Have the men dig a ditch for him.
00:52:54And the man from the plains shall be buried up to his neck.
00:52:58The worms of the earth shall eat the meat from his bones.
00:53:17Agh!
00:53:26Do you want some?
00:53:28Come on, try!
00:53:31See how sweet they are!
00:53:40Come on, you come with me over there.
00:53:47Give me a drink!
00:53:58Eat that, dog! Eat that!
00:54:01He won't live to see the next moon rise.
00:54:03Ah, he's strong.
00:54:05The fresh night air will do him good.
00:54:08But tomorrow he'll suffer in the sun.
00:54:17Agh!
00:54:28Now, doesn't this...
00:54:31...amuse you?
00:54:47Agh!
00:55:17Agh!
00:55:42Maciste!
00:55:47Go on, Nemoa.
00:55:49You've already taken too many risks for me.
00:55:51Be quiet, don't let him hear you.
00:56:10If only you could free my arm.
00:56:17Agh!
00:56:33You cursed woman!
00:56:35I might have known you'd betray the tribe like this.
00:56:38Agorok, grab hold of her!
00:56:40Gunkmakok, come here!
00:56:43Oh, traitor! Take her away!
00:56:48Yes.
00:56:53You'll pay for this together!
00:56:59The first two!
00:57:05Your turn, Agorok!
00:57:12Now the next two!
00:57:18Agh!
00:57:21I think the time has come to say goodbye, Moa.
00:57:24I don't want to die. Not like this.
00:57:39Kill them!
00:57:47Agh!
00:58:02Agh!
00:58:05Get back!
00:58:18Agh!
00:58:29No!
00:58:47Agh!
00:58:58No!
00:59:02Agh!
00:59:09Agh!
00:59:17Agh!
00:59:22Agh!
00:59:29Agh!
00:59:34Agh!
00:59:41Agh!
00:59:47Agh!
00:59:53Now we're safe, Moa.
01:00:17Agh!
01:00:47Agh!
01:01:07I was so frightened.
01:01:10Not of dying.
01:01:13But of losing you.
01:01:17Agh!
01:01:20Agh!
01:01:23Agh!
01:01:26Agh!
01:01:29Agh!
01:01:32Agh!
01:01:38Agh!
01:01:41Agh!
01:01:48Agh!
01:01:59We've no other choice.
01:02:02Since the moon goddess could not protect us...
01:02:05...we must find a new land for our people.
01:02:08But where? Where can we find a place that has not been destroyed by the fire that came from the mountains?
01:02:16The Valley of the Sun.
01:02:18We'll go back there, not to capture the women,
01:02:21but to destroy the tribe that has dared to penetrate our territory.
01:02:25And to kill their cursed leader.
01:02:28But we'll never be able to destroy the men of the plains alone.
01:02:31No, not alone.
01:02:34But with the help of another tribe.
01:02:36Which one?
01:02:37The Ulma.
01:02:38The Ulma?
01:02:39They're a tribe of primitive barbarians and they don't even speak our language.
01:02:43But they understand it.
01:02:45And can be understood.
01:02:46But they're a cruel tribe and we know they eat their enemies.
01:02:52Even better.
01:02:54And what can we offer them in return for their help?
01:02:57We will teach the Ulma all our secrets.
01:03:01Everything.
01:03:02Even how we build our cabins,
01:03:04how we sharpen the point on our lances,
01:03:07how we divert the course of water.
01:03:09And even the secret of fire.
01:03:11Everything we'll teach them.
01:03:14If they will help us take our revenge.
01:03:18Agur.
01:03:20Go beyond the mountains and find the Ulma.
01:03:23And ask them to help us.
01:03:24Go.
01:04:14Our father's son.
01:04:24If you had not been there to help me out.
01:04:35Let us rest in that cave just for a few hours.
01:05:14Agur.
01:05:45There's only one thing I can do.
01:05:52Quick, a piece of wood.
01:06:14Go away.
01:06:15Go away, Moa.
01:06:16Save yourself.
01:06:17No.
01:06:18No.
01:06:19Agur.
01:06:20Agur.
01:06:21Agur.
01:06:22Agur.
01:06:23Agur.
01:06:24Agur.
01:06:25No.
01:06:46What is this?
01:06:55This is the wrong way, Moa.
01:07:25I've never been here before.
01:07:27Still, those seem to be the mountains of the Sun Valley.
01:07:31No, there are other mountains.
01:07:34Maybe our path lies in that direction.
01:07:54You see, I didn't lie to you.
01:08:21They are the men of my tribe, and our chief, Phuon, is waiting there, too.
01:08:26Come.
01:08:35All right.
01:08:41Phuon, the old Moa.
01:08:46Did you tell him he'll have the secret of fire?
01:08:48Yes, but they also want our women.
01:08:55Tell him we will give them to him after the victory.
01:08:57They'll learn the secret of fire at their cost.
01:08:59But it's impossible.
01:09:02We'll burn them in the forest, alive.
01:09:19Now, Phuon, put your hand on his.
01:09:22It's the sign of friendship.
01:09:37We are ready.
01:09:40Before the moon can rise three times, the valley will be ours.
01:09:45Forward!
01:09:48Forward!
01:10:14How long will it be before the village is fortified?
01:10:17Sunrise will find us ready.
01:10:20Ah.
01:10:24Do you think Phuon will return and attack us?
01:10:28I'm sure of it, Gamal.
01:10:29There can't be peace.
01:10:31He wants to destroy us.
01:10:33May the Great Sun God protect and help us.
01:10:47Get ready! Here come the men of the cave!
01:11:17Come on! Destroy them!
01:11:48No! No!
01:11:50The secret of fire! No!
01:11:56Gamal!
01:12:17No!
01:12:28Listen.
01:12:29They're attacking the village.
01:12:32Attack them!
01:12:47Come on, men!
01:13:17Come on!
01:13:47Come on!
01:14:18Revenge yourselves!
01:14:20I want their heads!
01:14:22Revenge!
01:14:47Phuon!
01:14:48You can't escape now.
01:14:50You killed my father and now my brother.
01:14:54Now I'll kill you with my own hands.
01:15:18Ouch!
01:15:21I'll kill you!
01:15:22I'll kill you yet!
01:15:47Ouch!
01:16:18Ouch!
01:16:21Ouch!
01:16:23Ouch!
01:16:48Remain with us, Majesty.
01:16:50I can't.
01:16:52You don't need me any longer, my friend.
01:16:54You, Idar, with your woman, Raya,
01:16:57will be the leader of the first free people on Earth.
01:17:01You will be happy.
01:17:03And maybe the children of your children will be happy too.
01:17:06But before I go,
01:17:09may I give you a word of advice?
01:17:11Don't forget to defend yourselves against wild animals,
01:17:14monsters,
01:17:16but most of all against men.
01:17:18Moa, you will live here in peace and serenity
01:17:22and unite the two tribes.
01:17:24I have a hard road to follow,
01:17:26so it's better I meet my fate alone.
01:17:29Goodbye, Moa.
01:17:48Goodbye, Moa.
01:18:03Maxi!
01:18:13Moa.
01:18:15You didn't really think I could leave you all alone.
01:18:19I hoped you'd come with me, Moa.
01:18:44THE END
