4. “Troy”
In 2004, the 8th highest grossing film of the year was released. Troy, a period war film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, starred Pitt as Achilles. Loosely based on the Trojan War, Pitt’s character invades the city of Troy with some help from the Greek army and his Myrmidons. The majority of the film’s success came from box offices outside of the U.S., but the worldwide success helped to cement Pitt’s label as an international superstar.
