English Summary:
Jason and the Argonauts, (also known as Jason and the Golden Fleece) is a 2000 TV movie directed by Nick Willing and produced by Hallmark Entertainment. It is based on the Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts.
The film opens as soldiers invade the city of Iolcus. King Aeson's brother Pelias is leading the charge. Inside the temple he goes to embrace his brother but produces a dagger and kills him during the embrace. This is witnessed by his wife Polymele and his son Jason. He intends to do the same to Jason but one of the guards rescues him and takes him out of the palace through a secret tunnel.
It is then revealed that this is a memory, experienced as a nightmare by an older Jason, who awakes. He is then ordered by his uncle to retrieve the golden fleece.
He recruits a crew from the simple folk of Iolcus, including shepherds and farmers. He is joined by Hercules, Orpheus, Atalanta and the brothers Castor and Pollux. Acastus stows away on the ship. The Argonauts run aground on a strange island in the middle of the ocean that is actually the sea god Poseidon. In the ensuing storm, they lose the map. The crew make their way to the Isle of Lemnos, an island of warrior women, to recover from the experience and repair the ship. The men pleasure themselves with the women while their ship is repaired (except Orpheus and Atalanta) and Jason sleeps with the queen Hypsipyle. Atalanta discovers that the women have killed all the men on the island and are planning to sacrifice the crew. She warns Jason, and the Argonauts flee the island.
Hungarian Summary:
Jason előtt nevelője, a kentaúr Chiron egy nap felfedi az igazságot származásával kapcsolatban: ő loclus országának törvényes örököse, apját pedig a gonosz Pelias ölte meg, hogy megszerezze a hatalmat. Janos útnak indul, hogy visszakövetelje a trónt. Pelias katonái üldözőbe veszik... Miután Jason megtudja, hogy Pelias legnagyobb vágya az aranygyapjú, üzletet köt a trónbitorlóval, és néhány társával a legendás kincs megszerzésére indul.
