One of the most epic adventure stories of all time comes powerfully to life in this original four-hour epic-series. Filmed in exotic locales with an international cast and featuring state-of-the-art...( read more  read more... ) special effects, Helen of Troy depicts one of the greatest battles ever 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. Together, the lovers flee to Troy, where they are given safe haven by Paris' father, King Priam (John Rhys-Davies). Bent on bringing Helen back, the king's ruthless brother Agememnon (Rufus Sewell) leads the skilled Spartan army to the shores of the fabled city. There the Greeks lay siege to Troy, thus beginning one of history's most legendary wars which would ultimately decide the destinies of two empires.

    Better than Troy. Too much focus on Paris and Helen, but that is the path this film chose. Better representation of the characters from the epic, the best thing about this being that it follows the actual story.

    I saw parts of this and I was blown away. Sienna Guillory has to be the most beautiful, perfect woman to play Helen, it was like I hand chose her myself. I didn't see all of this, but what I recall was simply amazing.

    The abduction of beautiful Helen, wife of Spartan King Menelaus, by Paris of Troy triggers a long war.


    Arrows rain death, Courageous soldiers clamber up stone walls, Swords clang, men shout, fire rage. Yet the waves of combatants troy are turn back. Obvio...( read more)usly this is not the movie described and shown in the picture. The movie pictured is three hours long with a very good cast and in my opinion it is much better than the garbage called Troy with the little man named Pit or something in it. Helen is played by Sienna Guillory and is very lovely of course. Other actors are Matthew Marsden, John Rys-Davies, and Rufus Sewell. I especially liked the actions of Agamemnon's wife during the bathing scene near the end as you will see. I own the 3 disc special and highly recommend it. I enjoy it...
