Adapted from Homer’s classic poem The Iliad, Troy demonstrates the undeniable gravitas and inevitability of Homer’s narrative even after millennia. When Helen of Sparta (Diane Kruger), though married, elopes with the Trojan prince Paris (Orlando Bloom) and flees to Troy, they’re followed by war of unimaginable proportions. Helen’s husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson) summons a united army of Greece led by the arrogant Agamemnon (Brian Cox) and driven forward by the bold and courageous Achilles (Brad Pitt). As the armies of Greece and Troy clash, so too do their greatest champions – Achilles and Hector (Eric Bana) in a conflict that brings devastation to both kingdoms. In this colossal epic, witness huge battlescapes, one-on-one duels worthy of a Colosseum and the fall of a once-great nation.
