YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The New York Post asked 50 random New Yorkers across midtown Manhattan to explain the plot of the classic adventure. Could they? Sometimes. Christopher Nolan's new movie it set to premiere on July 17, which tells the legendary Greek story that follows the long and dangerous journey of Odysseus as he struggles to return home after the Trojan War. From encounters with the Cyclops and Sirens to the wrath of the gods, the story has inspired countless books, films, and adaptations—and remains one of the most influential tales ever told. How well do you know the epic?
