In anticipation of the end of the world, the Archangel Michael (Charles Mesure) has released three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War, Famine, and Pestilence. Iolaus I (Michael Hurst) briefly returns from the dead to warn Hercules (
Kevin Sorbo) of mankind's impending doom. Teaming with Iolaus II (also Michael Hurst), and, surprisingly, the war god Ares (
Kevin Smith), Hercules sets about to prevent the Apocalypse from playing itself out -- but alas, the fourth horseman, Death, has already joined his three comrades. This episode originally aired as the fifth-season finale of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
