Thor, the powerful but arrogant heir to the throne of Asgard, recklessly reignites an ancient war and is banished by his father Odin to Earth, stripped of his powers and his hammer. Forced to live among humans, he learns alongside scientist Jane Foster the value of humility just as Asgard's darkest forces, stirred by his brother Loki, threaten to invade the world. Kenneth Branagh brings a Shakespearean air to this origin story that combines the mythic grandeur of the golden realm with fish-out-of-water comedy. The fall and redemption of a god who must learn to be worthy.
