...leaks, as did the fact that most of the crew members were loyal, tight-lipped veterans of past Spielberg movies. When TIME saw the movie, it had just been finished. There had been none of the usual test, press or studio-executive screenings; the movie's star, Eric Bana, had not even seen it.

...Arabic-accented Spanish called a radio station in Málaga, Spain, and claimed that both attacks had been carried out by the "Abu Nidal organization." Officials in Italy, Austria, Israel and the U.S. all took the claim seriously. Abu Nidal is the code name used by Sabry Khalil Bana, 45, who quit Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization in 1973, contending that Arafat had softened his opposition to Israel. Abu Nidal, in turn, was condemned to death by the P.L.O. Interviewed by Arab reporters recently in Libya, where he reportedly established a headquarters a few months ago for his Fatah...

...outdoor epic, everyone has to look great, and everyone does here--fit for battle (the guys) or for bed (the women). Pitt and Bana carry the film on their dishy delts. Bloom is so winsome as Paris that he almost makes the cowardly girly-man a teen idol. And for echoes of epics past, Troy has David Lean's Lawrence and Lara: O'Toole, sere and majestic, and Julie Christie as Achilles' mother Thetis...
