Kirk Morris is in the best shape of his career in this odd story about Muslims fighting over land in the middle east. I should say trying to steal it from other tribes in the area. HERCULES is formed out of a "puff of smoke" and leads the oppressed on the path of justice. The title is clear when he has to stop slaves in a cave who bang on large metal sheets all day in the hope of keeping out intruders. That entire cave sequence was very well staged. Nadir Baltimore, who was a late comer to the Hercules era, has a small part as a chieftain. Kirk Morris (Adriano Bellini), usually looks too young in his movies but here he looks fitting in his role as the hero. Unfortunately the story doesn't even fit in with the Hercules legend. Morris is WASTED in this story.
