While deep sea diving in search of his father, feared drowned, young Jason travels through a white light and ends up in the ancient city of Atlantis. Pursued by soldiers, he is rescued by budding mathematician Pythagoras, who shares a house with the former hero Hercules, now an overweight drunk. Pythagoras is selected by lottery as one of seven young people to be sacrificed to the monster the Minotaur in the labyrinthine caverns outside the city to ensure Atlantis' future safety. Jason opts to take his place but is joined by Pythagoras and Hercules after an unsuccessful attempt to rescue him. Fortunately, Ariadne, the king's daughter, has given Jason a thread so that, after killing the Minotaur, he and his friends find their way out of the caves. Jason is declared a hero. However, the Oracle, who has told Jason that he was born in Atlantis and taken away by his father when he was small, foretells that his return is fortuitous to save the city. Still, he will be faced with even more enemies in the future.
