Overview

"Hercules in New York" is a charming 1970 fantasy comedy directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman and written by Aubrey Wisberg. This film marks the first feature film appearance of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, credited here as Arnold Strong, Mr. Universe, when he was just 22 years old.

The narrative follows Hercules, who, frustrated with his life on Olympus, convinces his father Zeus to let him venture to Earth. Upon arriving in New York City, Hercules encounters a series of comedic events as he interacts with the city's inhabitants, who see him as both physically impressive and socially inept. With the help of his new friend Pretzie, Hercules makes a splash in the professional wrestling scene, but his antics draw the ire of the gods, leading to a series of fantastical challenges.
