In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 100,000 men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. Xerxes waited many days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw. When the Greeks did not leave, Xerxes was left with no option and he moved forward. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat would not have happened if not for a local shepherd, named Ephialtes, who defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.

Sweet! submitted by TripleH123 on June 28, 2011, 10:27pm This is a sweet movie full of action, romance, and war! But it is very scary, so you need to be mature to watch it.
But other than that it is a great movie!

not so good submitted by Johnny Mac on July 17, 2011, 1:12pm A great historical event that was somewhat ruined by the way it was fimed.

Artistic Action Film submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 1:00pm This is a visually stimulating great film. The plot is simple but timeless. I'd recommend this film. Lots of violence!!

meh submitted by crp on July 28, 2020, 2:23pm meh - solid action, but low on the satisfaction

300 submitted by maywang on June 11, 2021, 8:58pm A historical event that was ruined by the satisfaction and filming. Good, but needs improvement.

Agitprop submitted by oriolbt on August 12, 2023, 6:13pm Reactionary jingoistic vitriol - racist, sexist, ableist and homophobic. Lots of fun if you are any of those things, and especially if you're not media literate.
