300

directed by Zach Snyder

with Gerald Butler, Lena Headly, Dominic West

In the fifth century B.C, at the Battle of Thermopylae, a brave band of 300 Spartans fought to the death against the massive Persian army of King Xerxes. Seven centuries later, the epic graphic novel about the battle by Frank Miller—whose hip, sexy comic Sin City was given the full movie treatment two summers ago—has been brought to big-screen glory in a stylish, computer-assisted wonder that holds the brave Spartans up as defenders of Greece and the guardians of democracy. "300 is a feast for the senses (well, two of them anyway) and an impressive technical achievement. More than that, it's a hell of a lot of fun."
