“Troy” (2004)
“Troy” (2004), directed by Wolfgang Petersen, is a sweeping epic that brings the legendary Trojan War to life with grandiosity and spectacle. Inspired by Homer’s “Iliad,” the film stars Brad Pitt as the formidable warrior Achilles, who is drawn into the conflict by his personal quest for glory.
Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom portray Hector and Paris, the Trojan princes whose actions set the stage for war.
The film excels in its grand battle scenes and impressive set designs, creating a visually stunning depiction of ancient warfare.
While the screenplay takes liberties with the source material, the performances, particularly by Pitt and Bana, add depth to the characters. “Troy” combines action, drama, and romance to deliver a compelling, if somewhat modernized, retelling of one of history’s greatest tales.
