Gods of Egypt

In ancient Egypt where the gods live among the mortals, King Osiris is killed by his jealous brother Set during the coronation of Osiris’s son Horus. Set then defeats Horus and takes his eyes, proclaiming himself the new king, and commands mankind to pay riches to pass into the afterlife.

One year later, with most of Egypt enslaved by Set, Zaya, a slave to Set’s chief architect Urshu, gives plans for Set’s pyramid to her lover, Bek. Using the plans, Bek infiltrates Set’s treasure vault and steals one of Horus’s eyes, but he and Zaya are caught by Urshu, who kills Zaya with an arrow as she and Bek escape. Bek takes her body to the exiled Horus along with the eye, promising to help find the other if he brings Zaya back from the dead.

They visit the divine vessel of Horus’s grandfather Ra. Neutral about the conflict with Set, and at war with the shadow beast Apophis that threatens to devour the world, Ra does not restore Horus’s power but allows him to take a vial of divine waters to weaken Set. Ra explains that Horus’s loss of his powers is the result of not fulfilling his destiny, which Horus believes means avenging his parents’ deaths.
