Frank Miller's 300 (2007)

I saw this preview when I saw "The Departed" a few months back. I cant remember ever anticipating a comic based movie I didnt know about so much. The comic/movie is an exaggeration from the truth, but anytime you got 1,000 dudes(tho the movie only focuses on 300) who can damn near take an army of a quater million, that's something to remember.

Quote :

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 260,000 men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians and other Slave soldiers. 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.
