Troy DVD

TROY DVD Troy is a 2004 epic historical war film directed by Wolfgang Petersen Ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Diane Kruger and Orlando Bloom It is loosely based on Homer's Iliad in its narration of the entire story of the decade-long Trojan War (condensed into little more than a couple of weeks) rather than just the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in the ninth year. Achilles leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan army. The end of the film (the sack of Troy) is not taken from the Iliad, but rather from Quintus Smyrnaeus's Posthomerica, as the Iliad concludes with Hector's death and funeral.
