Synopsis

In this ferocious retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae based on the epic graphic novel by Sin City creator Frank Miller, King Xerxes of Persia amasses an army of hundreds of thousands, drawn from Asia and Africa, to invade and conquer the tiny, divided nation of Greece in 481 B.C. But when the advancing Persian forces enter the treacherous mountain pass of Thermopylae, they encounter Spartan King Leonidas and his royal guard of soldiers numbering just 300. According to legend, their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite against the Persian foe, planting the seeds of democracy and ushering in the Golden Age of Greece.

  1. Cool

    I'm not really big into comic book type movies but 300 rocks. it looks cool, acts cool and probably even smells cool.
  2. Brilliantly Rendered

    06 December 2008
    This 2006 film draws heavily on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, as opposed to the actual historical accounts. The Persian ruler, Xerxes, is depicted as a giant, and somehow supernatural, if not explicitly God-like, which is pure Frank Miller. The incendiary bombs, overly massive war-elephants, and strange genetically mutated beasts are all unmitigated fiction. This film, though, is still superb. Only the most pedantic classical scholars would be dissuaded by the obvious inaccuracies. The action is brilliantly rendered, and the characters, though mostly one dimensional, are perfectly realized for the purposes of this tale… Leonidas and his 300 have stood for millennia as the very essence of hopeless yet courageous defence in the face of tyranny. They have served as a metaphor for the ultimate sacrifice in the name of ones nation/city; has brought that message to an entirely new generation.
