One of the most epic adventure stories of all time comes powerfully to life in this classic tale. Inspired by Homer's Iliad, and featuring exotic locales, an international cast, and state-of-the-art special effects, Helen of Troy depicts the legendary battle fought to win the love of the world's most beautiful woman.
Though married to Menelaus, King of Sparta, Helen (Sienna Guillory) falls madly in love with Paris (Matthew Marsden) a handsome Trojan prince. The lovers flee to Troy together, where Paris' father, King Priam (John Rhys-Davies), gives them safe haven. Bent of bringing Helen back, the King's ruthless brother Agememnon (Rufus Sewell) leads the skilled Spartan army to the shores of the fortified city. After a ten-year siege, the Greeks win entrance to the fortified city using the fabled Trojan Horse, beginning the decisive battle which would ultimately decide the destinies of two empires.
