Summary
Directed by Zack Snyder in 2006, '300' is an epic action film loosely based on Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name. The movie depicts the historic Battle of Thermopylae, where King Leonidas and his Spartan army held off the Persian invasion led by Xerxes. While the film takes creative liberties with historical accuracy, it serves as a stylized retelling of this famous last stand that inspired unity among Greek city-states and contributed to the birth of democracy.
