Troy It is loosely based on Homer's Iliad, which narrates the story of the 10 year Trojan War. Achilles leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan army. The end of the film is not taken from the Iliad as the ending of the Iliad was based on Hector's death and funeral burial. The film features an ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom.

Clash of the Titans: The story is very loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus.

Immortals: The film was previously named Dawn of War and War of the Gods before being officially named Immortals, and is loosely based on the Greek myths of Theseus and the Minotaur and the Titanomachy.
