Directed by Chris Columbus, based on the story by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) provided a modern context for Ancient Greek mythology and was popular amongst younger audiences.

Jackson, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Joe Pantoliano, Uma Thurman as Medusa and Rosario Dawson as Persephone.
