An illicit affair sparks the battle of Troy in this epic adaptation of Homer's poem 'The Iliad.' Set in 1200 B.C., the story chronicles the war that is sparked when the Prince of Troy runs off with the wife of Sparta's King Menelaus. Sensing an opportunity to conquer Troy, Menelaus' brother Agamemnon unites Greece against the city--led by the fearsome Achilles (Brad Pitt).
