Percy Jackson And The Olympians: Lightning Thief Trailer It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. The films stars Logan Lerman (The Butterfly Effect/Gamer) in the title role, with Brandon T. Jackson(Tropic Thunder), Uma Thurman, Rosario Dawson, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Catherine Keener, and Erica Cerra (Eureka) rounding out the cast. Percy Jackson & The Olympians is a series of adventure and fantasy books authored by Rick Riorda
