Immortals is a 2011 American epic fantasy action film directed by Tarsem Singh Dhandwar and starring Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, John Hurt, Isabel Lucas, Kellan Lutz, Freida Pinto, Joseph Morgan, Daniel Sharman, and Mickey Rourke. Loosely based on the Greek myths of Theseus and the Minotaur, and the Titanomachy, the film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals.

Principal photography began in Montreal on April 5, 2010. The film was released on November 11, 2011 by Relativity Media, becoming a commercial success at the box office by grossing over $226 million. Premiering in Los Angeles on November 8, 2011, the film received generally mixed reviews, with critics, while praising the music score and visuals, criticized Tarsem's direction, the ensemble cast, action sequences, production and costume design, the film's storytelling, and the lack of character development.
