Masters of the Universe is a Sword and Planet-themed franchise created by Mattel. The premise behind the series focuses on a conflict between He-Man (the alter ego of Prince Adam) and Skeletor on the planet Eternia, with a vast lineup of supporting characters in a hybrid setting of medieval sword and sorcery, and sci-fi technology. The series itself spawned a variety of products that include action figures (created by T. Mark Taylor and Roger Sweet), seven animated television series, several comic series, video games, books and magazines, a daily newspaper comic strip, and three feature films. It would also inspire a follow-up series, She-Ra: Princess of Power revolves around He-Man’s sister She-Ra and her rebellion against The Horde on the planet Etheria. The Documentary, Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is available to watch on TUBI.

After being separated for 15 years, the Sword of Power leads Prince Adam (Galitzine) back to Eternia, where he discovers his home shattered under the fiendish rule of Skeletor (Leto). To save his family and his world, Adam must join forces with his closest allies, Teela (Mendes) and Duncan/Man-At-Arms (Elba), and embrace his true destiny as He-Man — the most powerful man in the universe.
