Hercules in New York is a whimsical 1970 fantasy comedy directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman and written by Aubrey Wisberg. This film marks the first feature film appearance of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, credited at the time as Arnold Strong, Mr. Universe, when he was just 22 years old.

The story follows Hercules, who, feeling frustrated with his life on Mount Olympus, persuades his father Zeus to allow him to venture down to Earth. Upon arriving in New York City, Hercules encounters a variety of comedic situations as he interacts with the locals, who find him both physically impressive and socially awkward.

With the assistance of his new friend Pretzie, Hercules dives into the professional wrestling scene, making quite an impression. However, his antics attract the ire of the gods, leading him to face a series of fantastical challenges that test his strength and wit. The film combines elements of humor and adventure, making it a unique take on the classic mythological tale.
