Celluloid Heroes

Helen has the face that launched a thousand ships, but this story isn't really about her, except in a small way. The story is of course about Troy, the city to which Paris (Orlando Bloom) takes Helen when they fall in love and Paris hides her aboard a ship when they leave to return to Troy.

Unfortunately when Helen's husband Menelaus finds out that she's gone, stolen by a much younger man, he's not happy about it - and his brother, Agamemnon just happens to be the king, which means that he just might be able to do something about it. So the two enlist the aid of Achilles (Brad Pitt), the best fighter the world has ever seen, to go get her back. Here's where the thousand ships come in, as they set sail for Troy.
