In the movie, Troy, Orlando Bloom, Eric Bana, and Brad Pitt, star as Paris and Hector of Troy and the greatest warrior ever, Achilles. This film begins with the beginning of a battle between the Greeks and Thessaly. In single combat, Achilles takes down the largest warrior from Thessaly, Boagrius. Achilles main goal is not to destroy other nations, but to have his name remembered for years and years. Achilles, half-god, fights with King Agamemnon, but not for him, and adds Thessaly to the Greek nation.

Meanwhile, The King of Troy Prium sends his two sons, Paris and Hector, to make peace with the Spartans. However, on the way back to Troy from Sparta, Hector finds out that Paris has fallen for Helen, or King Menelaus of Sparta's wife, and has taken her from Sparta without anyone knowing. Menelaus seeks help from Sparta's ally, the Greeks and King Agamemnon to get Helen back. This dispute between two men becomes a war between nations. At one point, King Menelaus and the army of the Greeks go to Troy to challenge Paris for Helen. Menelaus obviously begins to conquer the combat, but as Paris crawls to the feet of his brother, Hector, he pleads for the fight to be over. As Menelaus is about to strike Paris, Hector quickly, and skillfully, kills Menelaus and triggers the battle. Luckily, Troy's archers kill many of the Greek warriors and the rest of the Trojans push towards the Greeks. King Agamemnon is forced to retreat, but some of the Trojans follow. Then Hector demands all of Troy's army to fall back to Troy or they would be in the range of the Greeks archers.

Many other battles are fought between Troy and the Greeks. In one of the battles, Troy's most fearsome soldier, Hector kills Achilles' cousin Patrcoclus, thinking it was Achilles. Once Achilles finds out about his cousin's death, he goes to the walls of Troy and calls for Hector. Hector emerges and they fight to the death. Achilles ends up stabbing Hector, thus killing him, and dragging his body all around Troy. After this, King Prium of Troy asks for Hectors body so he can endure a proper funeral. Achilles allows this and gives 12 days of peace for their loss. However, the Greek soldier, Odysseus, has a plan to give the Trojans a very large surprise. But you'd have to see this movie to find out the secret to this Trojan Horse.
