Movies that feel likeTroy (2004)
If you loved Troy, the closest films we have are Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) and The Assassin (2015). All three share Troy's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978).

If Troy hit the spot, these will too

Old-fashioned spectacle adventure on a blockbuster scale
The difference: Pulp matinee tone — winks where Troy wants gravitas

Set-piece craftsmanship in service of a globe-spanning fight
The difference: Modern spy machinery — no ancient stakes or swords

Ancient codes of honor weighed in a warrior's stillness
The difference: Slow cinema — minutes of quiet for each stroke of action

The same mix in both: momentum, then scale
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Kinetic action in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to history than Troy does

Epic adventure, and it commits to that

Petersen pitting brave men against a force that dwarfs them
The difference: A true-story tragedy at sea — no glory, just survival

A daring mission built around treasures of a proud past
The difference: Jackie Chan stunt comedy — playful where Troy is solemn

Greek legend stripped down to warriors, battles and myth-making
The difference: B-movie muscle — shorter, sillier, far less ambitious

Comic-book heroics with big set-piece swagger
The difference: Modern St. Petersburg cop tale — no antiquity at all

Both lean on momentum more than on action

A legend grounded in mud, arrows and historical grit
The difference: Origin-story slow build — the battles are rationed
