Synopsis

This epic historical drama retells the story of the Trojan War, inspired by Homer’s “Iliad.” The film follows the conflict ignited by Prince Paris of Troy when he elopes with Helen, the queen of Sparta, leading to the massive Greek assault on Troy, followed by a decade long siege, with central characters like Achilles, Hector, and King Agamemnon playing pivotal roles that culminate in the legendary downfall of the city.

Did You Know?

While playing the role of Achilles, the legendary warrior with almost impregnable skin, Brad Pitt damaged his achilles tendon, halting production.

Troy was also the first UK-Malta co-production, something made possible by Malta signing the European Convention on Cinematographic Co-production Treaty in 2001.
