Set during the final weeks of the ten-year Trojan War, it follows the devastating anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, sparked by a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. As pride and wrath collide, the conflict escalates from personal dispute to battlefield tragedy, culminating in the death of Troy's champion, Hector. Gods intervene, heroes clash, and the fate of nations hangs in the balance.
