To win the kingdom his uncle took from hies father, Jason must steal the golden fleece from the land of barbarians, where Medea is royalty and a powerful sorceress, where human sacrifice helps crops to grow. Medea sees Jason and swoons, then enlists her brother's aid to take the fleece. She then murders her brother and becomes Jason's lover. Back in Greece, the king keeps the throne, the fleece has no power, and Medea lives an exile's life, respected but feared, abandoned by Jason. (imdb)
Medea mostly shot in Capadocia, Turkey and famous Greek opera actress Maria Callas performed her only performance in cinema in this movie as Medea.
