Christopher Nolan's interpretation of the Odyssey

Homer's epic poem the Odyssey was written in Greek around the 8th or 7th century BC. In 2026, Christopher Nolan brought out his action film The Odyssey, adapted from the poem. Critics have noted multiple differences between the versions. Some have questioned whether Nolan accurately depicts Mycenaean Greece; others have argued that Homer's epic was simply a myth, and others again have stated that while the Odyssey is a story, it was rooted in history. The film has been described as both the "most anticipated" and the "most contested" of 2026.
