The Trojan Horse Method is an indirect technique to measure nuclear reactions of astrophysical relevance at the energies of interest, free of Coulomb suppression and electron screening effects. Its basic features in the framework of the theory of direct reactions will be discussed and the physics case of the 12C+12C fusion will be addressed.
