He appeared as Hector, Crown Prince of Troy, commander of the Trojan armies and Paris’ older brother in the 2004 epic historical war film Troy. In 1250 BC, Lord Agamemnon joins the Greek realms, and Achilles, a brave hero, battles contrary to his domineering standard. Sovereign Hector of Troy and his sibling Paris arrange a ceasefire with Menelaus, Lord of Sparta. Paris starts an issue with Menelaus’ better half, Sovereign Helen, and sneaks her on board his home-bound vessel. Agamemnon consents to assist with taking Troy, as vanquishing it would give him control of the Aegean Ocean.

In Troy, Lord Priam invites Helen and plans for war. The Greeks attack and take the Trojan ocean side, because of Achilles and his Myrmidons. Achilles saves Briseis, a priestess and cousin of Paris and Hector, and they become sweethearts. Priam orders Achilles to retake the Trojan ocean side and power the Greeks home. Hector duels a man he accepts to be Achilles and kills him, yet Achilles saves her.

Agamemnon announces he will take Troy no matter what the expense. Odysseus intends to penetrate the city, and the Sack of Troy starts. Achilles battles his direction through the city and reunites with Briseis. Paris shoots a bolt through weak spot and a few into his body. Troy is at last taken by the Greeks, and a burial service is held for Achilles.
