Masters of the Universe: Watch the cast interview
Nicholas Galitzine and Camila Mendes discuss the making of Masters of the Universe, the No.1 movie on Prime Video around the world.
Masters of the Universe is the number one movie around the world on Prime Video.
The live-action Masters of the Universe movie, directed by Travis Knight (Bumblebee, Kubo and the Two Strings) from Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films, brings He-Man back to the big screen.
Rather than taking the 1980s toy line and cartoon ultra-seriously, the film embraces a self-aware, action-comedy tone that leans into the inherent absurdity of the franchise while delivering solid sword-and-sorcery spectacle.
The Plot: From HR to High Fantasy
The story kicks off on planet Eternia. A 10-year-old Prince Adam is separated from his home world and sent through a portal to Earth during an ambush led by the evil warlock Skeletor.
Flash-forward 15 years:
The Earth Life: Adam (Nicholas Galitzine) has grown up on Earth working in Human Resources in Oklahoma City. He utilizes de-escalation skills and emotional intelligence to manage conflict, while quietly obsessing over lost childhood memories of a magic sword and distant planet.
The Return: After tracking down the long-lost Sword of Power at a local comic book shop, Adam triggers a confrontation with Skeletor’s interdimensional mercenaries. Reunited with his childhood friend Teela (Camila Mendes), he transforms into He-Man for the first time and returns to a dark, Skeletor-occupied Eternia.
