Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey has opened in cinemas, released across multiple formats including IMAX to showcase its large-scale visual presentation. The launch was marked by premiere celebrations in New York, cementing the film's status as a major theatrical event and a fresh, ambitious cinematic take on the classical epic, drawing significant attention from audiences and critics alike.

The film opened on 16 July, with a score composed by Ludwig Göransson featuring contributions from contemporary musicians, notably reuniting Travis Scott and James Blake on the soundtrack's closing track, "When I'm Home". The production draws on Homer's ancient poem, a text that has inspired numerous scholarly and creative reinterpretations over the centuries, particularly around the fate of its central character beyond the events of the original story.
