He manages to keep them (as well as his nephew and niece) prisoners even after his death, through a binding testament.

Le film est accompagné par une narration en voix off ; les personnages eux-mêmes ne parlent pratiquement pas. Achille est attiré depuis longtemps par son compagnon d'armes Patrocle sans bien s'en rendre compte. Lorsque le prince troyen Pâris enlève Hélène, reine de Sparte, Achille et Patrocle se joignent à l'armée conduite par Agamemnon et Ménélas pour assiéger Troie et réclamer Hélène. Achille est le meilleur héros des Achéens. Patrocle est attiré par lui, mais Achille repousse d'abord ses avances. Tous deux incarnent Pâris et Hélène dans une représentation théâtrale relatant les événements à l'origine de la guerre ; mais au cours de la représentation, Achille se rend compte que Patrocle l'attire.

Shermer, Illinois, is a fictitious suburb of Chicago. There, nerdy social outcasts Gary Wallace (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt Donnelly (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are publicly humiliated by Ian (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Max (Robert Rusler) after they are seen swooning over two girls who happen to be their girlfriends. Dejected and disappointed at their direction in life and wanting more, Gary convinces the uptight Wyatt that they need a boost of popularity in order to get their crushes, Hilly (Judie Aronson) and Deb (Suzanne Snyder), away from Ian and Max. Alone for the weekend with Wyatt's parents gone, Gary is inspired by the 1931 classic Frankenstein to create a virtual girl using Wyatt's computer; infusing her with everything they can conceive to make the perfect dream girl. After hooking electrodes to a doll and hacking into a government computer system for more power, a power surge creates Lisa, a beautiful and intelligent woman with seemingly endless powers. Promptly, she conjures up a Cadillac convertible to take the boys out to a bar, using her powers to manipulate people into believing Gary and Wyatt are of age. The boys come up with the name Lisa (Kelly Le Brock), based upon a failed romantic experience of Gary's that ended with Lisa kicking him in the testicles.
