The film follows the story of Prince Adam, a 10-year-old boy who crashes to Earth in a spaceship and becomes separated from his magical Power Sword, his only connection to his home planet, Eternia. Nearly two decades later, Adam locates the sword, returns to Eternia, and transforms into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. He must defend Castle Grayskull and the planet from the evil Skeletor.
