Troy

(2004)Directed by Wolfgang Petersen163 min · RWar, Action, History
For passion. For honor. For destiny. For victory. For love.

Achilles (Brad Pitt), the greatest warrior Greece has ever seen, wants immortal glory. When Paris (Orlando Bloom) abducts Helen and ignites war with Troy, Achilles sees his chance, though it means serving under Agamemnon (Brian Cox), a king who fears his fame. Petersen stages the battles as spectacle and the personal costs as tragedy, building toward the moment when Achilles faces Hector (Eric Bana) and learns what glory actually demands.
