Epic movies are based on epics that are indispensable part of any culture. Epics go far back to the times of Homer,  the Greek and Roman civilizations. Epics generally have a hero who is caught in a situation that can change the fate of an entire community, nation and even an entire civilization. Hollywood has its own epics to boast of. Sometimes, movies in Hollywood are based on epics that are already there in the history other times it creates its own stories with epical dimensions, for eg. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, based on James Thunder’s comic short story, etc. Storm over Asia, The Three Musketeers Trilogy, Napoleon, Braveheart ( Epic story from Scotland).

Movies like Troy, The Ten Commandments and Julius Ceaser, etc are movies that have been made on classical epics. These movies are made on wide scales and huge canvas. Directors of epic movies present the story in an out-of-the-world manner taking assistance of special effects, creating real-life sets, doing historical research and other field work to recreate the magic of epic as far as they can.
