Additional InformationWith soaring photography that circles from above then swoops in for the action, TROY is Wolfgang Petersen's majestic presentation of the classic Greek legend. It tells the story of an epic battle over Helen (Diane Kruger), the queen of Sparta, who is kidnapped by her lover Paris (Orlando Bloom), the prince of Troy. This infuriates Helen's husband Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), whose brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox) convinces him to invade Troy and kill Helen. They recruit Achilles (Brad Pitt), the best warrior in Greece, whose bravery, quick feet, and remarkable swordsmanship (not to mention tan biceps, short kilts, and blond locks) have earned him a reputation that is almost as impressive as his ego. Achilles agrees to fight for Sparta, if only for the fame it will bring him. Even Achilles' mother, in a touching scene, advises him to forget mortal achievements and become a hero who will be remembered throughout history. Along with the invasion of Troy, a series of duals must also be fought: Paris, who is heartbreaking in his lovestruck naivety, must go up against the enraged Menelaus; and Achilles must settle a score with Hector (Eric Bana), who is fiercely dedicated to protecting his brother Paris and their father, the frail king Priam (Peter O'Toole). When the war finally ignites in its massive proportions, the action is awesome. And as the increasingly dramatic events play out, TROY earns its own timeless reputation among other action-adventure epics such as GLADIATOR and SPARTACUS.

  • Superb movie on a scale

    Arrived in prompt time. Prior to this seen before on dvd and the blu ray version offered extras. At the time was meant to be a blockbuster. Very good cast which set the tone fiiting into roles. History between greece and troy caused war,unrest sparked by a love affair by helen,paris then achilles the hero of trojan war greatest of greek warriors possibllty many other known types. Fine battle scenes,great visual effects of epic scale.complex half hearted predictable history that occures. passes time at least when watching.

  • Epic

    Fun to watch the director’s cut whilst working my way through Wilson’s translation of the Iliad. Sean Bean turned in an ace performance as Odysseus - again better in the director’s cut.
