Basically, 'Herakles' is an omnium-gatherum of film clips depicting images of machismo. Some of those images are explicitly macho: we see various body-builders flexing their biceps and triceps. Other images seen here are not macho in the literal sense, but are indirectly related to testosterone or cojones on some level: we see military aircraft making bombing raids, and footage of car crashes.

“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Werner Herzog's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Herakles is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
