Synopsis:
Troy is a 2004 epic/action film concerning the Trojan War. The film is often noted for its incredible ensemble cast, which include Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Peter O'Toole, and Diane Kruger. It received mixed reviews, but has a large following of passionate fans who believe it is an entertaining historical representation of the time. When the film was completed the total production costs were $185 million, which makes it one of the most expensive films ever made. Troy was a financial success at the international box office, making more than 73% of its revenues outside of the U.S. It is the 70th most successful film at the Box Office.
It is the year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans. But they come to a stop by Hector, Prince of Troy. The whole movie shows their battle struggles, and the foreshadowing of fate in this remake by Wolfgang Petersen of Homer's "The Iliad."
