...greatest day--one of those rare hinges of history that might have bent the other way. It had taken years for the U.S. to embrace its urgent necessity and hurl itself into the battle. The invasion plan, two years in the making, was still a mad gamble; though the force was overwhelming, the outcome was never assured. The 150,000 men who landed that June dawn carried a copy of General Eisenhower's "Order of the Day," which declared that they had embarked on "the Great Crusade."

(which, like TIME, is part of Time Warner) puts at $175 million--but that several sources say has crept closer to a quarter of a billion dollars--Troy is one of the biggest, craziest movie gambits since Titanic. It's not just that the film required...
