Watch The Odyssey TV Mini-series

Watch The Odyssey (1997) TV Mini-series. The Odyssey TV mini-series originally aired in two parts on NBC in May 18, 1997 and May 19, 1997. I watched both parts when they originally aired. This was during the era of TV movies and event productions with higher budgets than normal TV productions for that time period. The Odyssey had a budget of $40 million and attracted A-list talent to headline the narrative.

Cast and crew

Andrei Konchalovsky‘s The Odyssey stars Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi, Irene Papas, Isabella Rossellini, Bernadette Peters, Eric Roberts, Geraldine Chaplin, Jeroen Krabbé, Christopher Lee, and Vanessa Williams.

Plot Synopsis

The Odyssey‘s plot synopsis: based on the ancient Greek epic poem by Homer, the Odyssey, “The warrior King Odysseus leaves his idyllic life in the kingdom of Ithaca to fight in the Trojan War. After winning the war, he now must endure a lengthy, ten-year journey to return, and with all his wits, Odysseus must overcome deadly monsters, powerful forces of nature, seductive enchantresses, and even journey into the bowels of the Underworld.”
