AdventureWarRomanceHistory

Prince Paris of Troy, shipwrecked on a mission to the king of Sparta, meets and falls for Queen Helen before he knows who she is. Rudely received by the royal Greeks, he must flee...but fate and their mutual passions lead him to take Helen along. This gives the Greeks just the excuse they need for much-desired war.

VIBE

A sweeping, romantic epic that feels grand and tragic. It's a tale of fated love igniting a world-altering war, told with classic Hollywood scope and a sense of inevitable doom.
