Thor: Ragnarok

Storyline

Thor: Ragnarok is an exuberant, visually kaleidoscopic, and wildly funny reinvention of Marvel's Norse mythological universe, orchestrated with vibrant 80s-synth flair by visionary New Zealand director Taika Waititi. Following the peaceful passing of King Odin in Norway, a terrifying ancient cataclysm is unleashed: Hela, the ruthless Goddess of Death and Odin's banished firstborn daughter, breaks free from her millennial prison. Effortlessly shattering Thor’s legendary hammer Mjölnir with her bare hand, Hela violently banishes Thor and Loki into the cosmic abyss before conquering Asgard and reanimating its ancient berserker legion. Hurled across space, Thor finds himself stranded on Sakaar—a chaotic, neon-lit garbage planet situated at the crossroads of wormholes, ruled by the eccentric, eccentric dictator Grandmaster. Stripped of his royal locks and forced into gladiatorial combat, Thor discovers his opponent in the Grand Arena is none other than the Incredible Hulk, the Avengers’ missing champion who has chosen to remain in monstrous form as Sakaar’s reigning gladiator god. Forming an unruly, dysfunctional escape alliance called 'The Revengers' alongside Hulk, the treacherous Loki, and a disgraced, alcohol-dependent Asgardian warrior named Valkyrie, Thor stages an audacious cosmic breakout to prevent the total obliteration of his homeland. Featuring Led Zeppelin's pulse-pounding 'Immigrant Song' and dazzling visual humor, Ragnarok is a triumphant, hilarious exploration of power, brotherhood, and the profound truth that Asgard is not a place, but its people.
