About this episode
The Back To The Blockbuster team looks back at the epic historical war film, Troy, for its 20th anniversary. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by David Benioff, the film is loosely based on Homer’s Iliad in its narration of the entire story of the decade-long Trojan War. Starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Diane Kruger, and Peter O’Toole, follows Achilles as he leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector’s Trojan Army. The team then wraps things up with box office results for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and box office predictions for The Strangers: Chapter 1.
