Frank Miller's acclaimed graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC bursts into life on the big screen.
The ancient battle saw King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.
Facing insurmountable odds, their valour and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.
Director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) combines live action with virtual backgrounds which fully capture his distinct vision of this ancient tale.
