Troy

I always liked this scene in Troy, a film about the ancient conflict involving that famous city (along with a woman named Helen).

Brad Pitt plays Achilles, a famous warrior whose name is the basis for the term Achilles Heel. After a successful battle, Achilles comes back to his tent, where he finds a bound woman.

The bound woman is meant to be his "prize" for his efforts in the battle.

This woman, Briseis, is played by Rose Byrne, who has gone on to a great career as an actress in both film and TV. She was in Bridesmaids, X-Men: First Class, and many more.

Achilles winds up freeing Briseis, much to her surprise. It's a brief but good scene.
