Født av guder på det himmelske fjellet Olympen. Oppfostret av mennesker på jorden. Herkules var en uvanlig mann med en enorm styrke...og en umettelig trang til å imponere sin far, den store Zevs. Derfor settes Zevs sin sønn på prøve. Gjennom et antall utfordringer skulle Herkules bevise at han var en helt, og dermed verdig til å bo på Olympen, som var gudenes tilholdssted. Ved hjelp av sin trener Phil og kompisen Pegasus vinner han den ene kampen etter den andre. Likevel er pappa Zevs ikke riktig fornøyd, og Herkules blir fortsatt ikke regnet som en ordentlig helt. Plutselig dukker dødsrikets hersker Hades opp. Hades vil overta Zevs plass på tronen i Olympen. En uvitende Herkules står tilfeldigvis i veien for ham. Når Herkules i kampens hete oppdager sine varme følelser for den skjønne Meg, oppdager han at det ikke bare er muskler av stål som skaper en ekte helt, men likeså mye et hjerte av gull.
