"The 80-minute family-friendly production is based on Rick Riordan's bestselling novel and follows teenager Percy Jackson as he discovers he's the son of Poseidon. The story takes audiences into a world of Greek gods, monsters, and heroic quests as Percy and his friends race to recover Zeus' stolen lightning bolt before war erupts on Mount Olympus. Director Justine Giachetti said the Percy Jackson stories have resonated with audiences for two decades. "This story has meant so much to readers over the last twenty years," Giachetti said. "These stories have become more than an escape; they have become a mirror, helping countless kids and adults alike to see their challenges not as setbacks, but as strengths.""
