Synopsis
In ancient Greece, the passion of two of history's most legendary lovers, Paris, Prince of Troy (Orlando Bloom) and Helen (Diane Kruger), Queen of Sparta, ignites a war that will devastate a civilization. When Paris steals Helen away from her husband, King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), it is an insult that cannot be suffered. Familial pride dictates that an affront to Menelaus is an affront to his brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox), powerful King of the Myceneans, who soon unites all the massive tribes of Greece to steal Helen back from Troy in defense of his brother's honor. In truth, Agamemnon's pursuit of honor is corrupted by his overwhelming greed -- he needs control of Troy to ensure the supremacy of his already vast empire. The walled city, under the leadership of King Priam (Peter O'Toole) and defended by migthy Prince Hector (Eric Bana), is a citadel that no army has been able to breack. One man alone stands as the key to victory or defeat over Troy -- Achilles (Brad Pitt), believed to be the greatest warrior alive.
