Helen of Troy

This epic historical drama film retells the story of the Trojan War in 1100 B.C., albeit with some major changes from the Iliad's storyline. Prince Paris of Troy meets and falls for Queen Helen before he knows who she is, leading him to take her along, sparking a war between Greece and Troy. The film's grand scale is evident, with hundreds of extras and lavish sets, but its pedestrian script and cast issues hold it back from being a truly epic tale.
