Anthony is a news reporter and a guide writer who has covered the entertainment industry for five years. He has covered a wide range of genres, including aviation incidents and international crime, and has a keen eye for details that may slip under the radar.

When he's not writing, Anthony can be found at Brands Hatch race track or at home watching indie horror movies nobody has heard of.

Dwayne Johnson has a remarkable filmography spanning decades. He successfully transitioned from full-time wrestling in 2004. Since then, he has starred in dozens of movies across multiple genres, one of which being a Hercules adaptation. His first movie appearance was as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns. He didn't feature prominently, though he was instantly recognizable in the movie's climactic battle. Johnson then starred in The Scorpion King spinoff movie in 2002.

The Scorpion King was set in Ancient Egypt, providing a backstory for the character before his campaign to conquer the world. Since then, Johnson has gone from strength to strength on the silver screen, playing numerous beloved characters across several franchises.

Agent Hobbs from Fast and Furious is one of his fan-favorite roles. He was an antagonist of sorts in Fast Five, relentlessly pursuing Dom (Vin Diesel) and his team as they plan a daring heist in Brazil. Hobbs' relationship with Dom's crew has changed in newer installments, and he's now a franchise mainstay.

Johnson also starred in the successful Jumanji reboot, Welcome to the Jungle, as Dr. Smolder Bravestone. The movie pays homage to the Robin Williams original and expands on the story with a modernized spin that fits the source material.

Even casual moviegoers know Johnson's more famous movies, but some still slip under the radar. A lack of hype doesn't necessarily mean a movie is bad, and one of Johnson's lesser-known films is now available to stream for free.

Hercules premiered in 2014 and stars Dwayne Johnson as the son of Zeus himself. The movie is now available to watch for free on Tubi. It's a streaming platform similar to Netflix or Prime Video. However, it's funded by ads, and no subscription is required.

Tubi is less well known than some other streaming services, but it does have a solid selection that is frequently refreshed. The platform also boasts some exclusives under its Tubi Originals label, such as Lowlifes in 2024.

Hercules offers a fun spin on the Greek legend. Most notably, Hercules is a mercenary in the 2014 movie, and we're not even sure if he's truly a demigod. Ergenia (Rebecca Ferguson) approaches Hercules with a proposal. She wants him to help her father, Lord Cotys (John Hurt), fend off Rhesus (Tobias Santelmann), a brutal warlord. He agrees to help when he learns that Rhesus has burned down villages, even though it's an uphill struggle.

Lord Cotys' soldiers lack training. Hercules and his crew attempt to make them battle-ready, but will he succeed before Rhesus's forces close in?

Hercules Is One Of Dwayne Johnson's Most Overlooked Action Movies

2014's Hercules rarely comes up in conversation today, which is surprising, considering its performance at the box office. The movie reportedly made $243.3 million worldwide, not including physical sales. Financials vary by project, but movies typically need to make 2.5x their production budget to be considered a success. Hercules was very close to that target, with an estimated production cost of $100 million.

The movie itself tells an entertaining dark fantasy adventure story. Hercules is famous across Ancient Greece, and his legendary 12 labors are known across the land. Interestingly, during his first fight, we notice that his teammates contribute far more than the stories may suggest. Hercules is supported by several fighters, including Atalanta (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal), a skilled archer, and Amphiaraus (Ian McShane), a seer.

Iolaus (Reece Ritchie) is a unique member of the team, as he's Hercules' nephew. He's not a fabled warrior like his uncle, but he is a storyteller who can inspire others, even if he embellishes the truth. Hercules' group is just as important as the legendary warrior himself, and the movie offers a multilayered take on the character. He's charismatic and strong, not unlike the Scorpion King in many ways. Hercules also has a troubled past, thoroughly explored as he tries to prepare Lord Cotys' army for battle.
