Anton Lesser and Suzanne Burden star in this BBC production of Shakespeare's play about love and honor during the Trojan War. When his lover, Cressida, is traded to the Greeks, soldier Troilus tries to rescue her from the enemy. Meanwhile, the Greeks' only hope lies in the hands of Achilles, who wants out of the war. The tides turn when Achilles' best friend is killed, and the Greeks stage a brutal ambush on a single Trojan hero.
