Moški so se skozi stoletja bojevali. Nekateri za moč, nekateri za slavo ali čast in nekateri za ljubezen. V starodavni Grčiji sta strast dveh najbolj legendarnih ljubimcev v zgodovini, Pariza, trojanskega princa (Orlando Bloom) in Helene (Diane Kruger), kraljica Šparte, sprožila vojno, ki bi opustošila civilizacijo. Ugrabitev Helene s strani Pariza, ki jo loči od moža, kralja Menelausa (Bren-dan Gleeson), je žalitev, da Family Pride ugotovi, da je prizadetost Menelausu grožnja njenemu bratu Agamemnonu (Brian Cox), močnemu kralju Mycenae, ki kmalu ponovno združi vsa velika grška plemena, da bi Heleno opomogla pred Trojanci in branila čast svojega brata.
