Hercules and the Circle of Fire (1994)

Depending on which version of the myth you prefer, we may or may not have had fire before Prometheus brought it, so he's either a good guy or an opportunist thief. Either way, when a butt-hurt Hera takes it back it means no heat, light or ability to cook meat for a suffering mankind. Hercules, sympathetic and perhaps feeling a little guilty because it was his step-mom that extinguished it, makes it his mission to set the world right.
Anthony Quinn gets more screen time, which is always good, but movie number three isn't quite as much fun as the one that came before.
