- The Fantastic Adventures of Jason in his Exciting Search for the Golden Fleece!
- The legendary Greek Hero Jason, son of King Aristo, has been prophesied to take the throne of Thessaly. When he saves Pelias from drowning, but does not recognize him as the man who had earlier killed his father, Pelias tells Jason to travel to Colchis to find the Golden Fleece.
- Director Ray Harryhausen originally conceived of the film as "Sinbad in the Age of Muses". The story would still have been set in ancient Greece and would have involved Sinbad joining Jason, in the search for the Golden Fleece.
- Harryhausen considered this his best movie.

| One of the best fights in the film! |
Jason follows his advice and assembles a sailing crew of the finest men in Greece, including Hercules. They are under the protection of Hera, queen of the gods. Their voyage is replete with battles against harpies, a giant bronze Talos, a hydra, and an animated skeleton army
I highly recommend this motion picture and comic book adaptation. Jason and the Argonauts was an integral part of my growing up. You won't be sorry.
