A Journey Through Chaos: Recapping "Gods of Egypt"

The 2016 film "Gods of Egypt" transports viewers to a time when Egypt is not only a cradle of civilization but also a domain ruled by powerful deities. This epic tale weaves together themes of love, betrayal, and redemption as a young human, Beck, embarks on a daring quest to save his wife’s soul and aid a fallen God, Horus.

The Birth of a Conflict

In the beginning, life thrives in the paradisiacal land of Egypt where gods and humans coexist. Osiris, the god of life, is a beloved ruler, in stark contrast to his brother Set, the god of chaos, who reigns over the semblance of desolation in the desert. The rift between these brothers sets the stage for a struggle as Osiris prepares to crown his son, Horus, as the new king.
