Adaptación del cómic de Frank Miller (autor del cómic de “ Sin City ”) sobre la famosa batalla de las Termópilas (480 a. C.).
El objetivo de Jerjes, emperador de Persia, era la conquista de Grecia, lo que desencadenó las Guerras Médicas.
Dada la gravedad de la situación, Atenas consiguió convencer a Leónidas I, rey de Esparta, para que participase con los atenienses en la guerra contra los persas.
Así, el rey Leonidas (Gerard Butler) y 300 espartanos se enfrentaron a un ejército persa que era inmensamente superior.
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 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, and several hundred Arcadians. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected, as a local shepherd, named Ephialtes, defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.
