Mr A -
Here's the dumbed down version from the mythos.
There was a wedding.
Discord wasn't invited.
Discord doesn't like this, so she throws a golden apple into the building.
The apple has the words "for the fairest" written on it.
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all claim the apple.
Zeus won't choose the winner, so Paris does (Aphrodite).
In return, Aphrodite gives Helen (taken from her home) to Paris.
Thus the war starts.
The war lasts 20 years.
Now the movie version.
The Greeks and the Trojans have made peace.
Paris is having an affair with Helen.
Paris takes Helen back home with him when he leaves.
The power-hungry Greeks follow.
Thus the war starts.
The war last 15 days.
