Helen of Troy
1956, English. Directed by Robert Wise.
Its towering wonders span the age of titans! Its tumultuous story has lived for thirty centuries!
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.
