Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Lightning Thief [2010]
Full Story Summary :-
Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]
On top of the Empire State Building, Olympian gods Zeus and Poseidon meet, where Zeus reveals that his master lightning bolt has been stolen and accuses Poseidon's demigod son Percy Jackson of the theft. Poseidon reminds him that Percy is unaware of his true identity, but Zeus declares that unless Percy returns the lightning bolt to Mount Olympus before the next summer solstice, war will be waged. Percy is a seventeen-year-old teenager who appears to be dyslexic, but has a unique ability to stay underwater for a lengthy time. While on a school trip to the local museum, Percy is attacked by a Fury disguised as his substitute teacher, who demands the lightning bolt. She is chased off by Percy's best friend Grover Underwood and Latin teacher Mr. Brunner, both of whom appear disabled. Upon learning the Fury's reason for the attack, Mr. Brunner has Grover take Percy and his mother Sally out to Camp Half-Blood, leaving behind Sally's lazy husband Gabe Ugliano. However, the three are attacked by a minotaur who appears to kill Sally, since she is unable to enter the camp. Percy kills the minotaur with its own horn and then faints from shock.
Three days later, Percy wakes up in the camp. He learns that he is the son of Poseidon, Grover is really a satyr and his protector, and Mr. Brunner is really the centaur Chiron. Chiron suggests Percy go to Mount Olympus and convince Zeus of his innocence. Percy begins his training to use his demigod powers (which include water manipulation and using water to heal), and meets other demigods including Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Luke Castellan, son of Hermes. After assisting in a team exercise, Percy is visited by a fiery apparition of his uncle Hades, who reveals that Sally is with him in the Underworld and he will return her safely if Percy hands over the lightning bolt. Defying Chiron's orders not to go, Percy goes to the Underworld, joined by Grover and Annabeth. They visit Luke, who gives them a map showing three of Persephone's pearls that they can utilize to escape the Underworld, an old shield, and a pair of winged sneakers Luke stole from his father.
The trio head out, locating the first pearl at an old garden center but encountering Medusa, who tries to kill them until decapitated by Percy - her head taken with them for further use. They locate the second pearl in the Parthenon in Nashville, and Percy uses the winged shoes to take it from a statue of Athena. Afterwards however, they are confronted by the Hydra, which Grover petrifies using Medusa's head. The third pearl is located in Las Vegas in the Lotus Casino, where the three eat lotus flowers and forget their reason for being there. They end up in the casino for five days until they come to their senses and flee, discovering the casino is run by the Lotus-Eaters. With all three pearls in their possession, Percy, Grover and Annabeth head into the Underworld, the portal for which is located in Hollywood.
In the Underworld they meet Hades and his wife Persephone. Though Percy tells Hades he does not have the lightning bolt, Hades finds the bolt hidden inside Luke's shield, thus revealing Luke to be the lightning thief. Persephone knocks out Hades with the bolt to avoid spending eternity with him, and hands the bolt to Percy. However, because they only have three pearls, Grover remains with Persephone. Percy, Annabeth and Sally teleport to the Empire State Building but are attacked by Luke, who wants to destroy Mount Olympus to secure the demigods' place as the new rulers of the gods. After a fight across Manhattan, Percy defeats Luke and returns the bolt to Zeus, who forgives Percy and allows Poseidon to briefly speak with his son. The film ends with Percy and Annabeth reuniting with Grover, who has now grown horns (though only small ones), meaning he is now a senior protector, and returning to the camp to continue their training. In a post-credits scene, Gabe is being kicked out of Sally's house and finds a note from Percy warning him not to open the fridge. Angrily ignoring it, he opens the fridge only to be petrified by Medusa's head.
