After being wrongfully accused of murder, Herakles is sentenced to ten labors as punishment whilst searching for the true killer.
Hello, if it's about Hercules I suggest to include the character's name in the logline (when the character is well known, giving his name is the shortest way to tell a lot about him). Wasn't the labors 12? What I like in this concept is that it introduces a murder investigation in a well known myth.Read more

What I like in this concept is that it introduces a murder investigation in a well known myth. In the myth, Hercules killed his wife and children under the influence of a evil Goddess. What if he was innocent… or not?

The issue that concerns me is: what is there so compelling about this story of a super hero who lived thousands of years ago that will interest a modern audience? ?Particularly when Herakles has to compete with modern superheroes with powers and adventures more fantastic, spectacular and epic than any of his.
There was a 2014 movie about Hercules starring ?Dwayne Johnson. ?Despite his star power, it didn’t make it’s money back at the box office. ?So there’s one strike against your concept from the git-go. ?Hercules didn’t sell — even with a major star.
And the first thing any producer who reads your logline will do before reading your script ?is check the financials on the last movie. ? What is there in your story — in the logline — that will persuade a producer that your story is going to succeed where the last film flopped?
Just saying.
