A Trojan prince travels to Sparta to secure a peace treaty, but there he falls in love with the queen and takes her back to Troy, igniting a long and bloody war between the city and a mighty Greek alliance - which finally breaches the walls of the citadel using the legendary wooden horse. Epic adventure, starring Jacques Sernas, Rossana Podesta, Brigitte Bardot, Stanley Baker and Niall MacGinnis.

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.
