3. Percy Jackson Movies (2010-2013)

How Percy, accompanied by Athena’s daughter Annabeth Chase (Daddario), and Hermes’s son, Luke Castellan (Jake Abel), rescues Percy’s mother, finds the bolt, and returns it to Zeus forms the premise of the drama.

The tree is poisoned by Luke’s forces. Percy also meets his half-brother, Tyson, a cyclops. Percy must hurry before Luke resurrects the evil Titan Kronos.
