A three-hundred man militia sets off to defend Sparta from the gigantic Persian army about to invade. King Leonidas is the leader of Sparta, an aggressive state inside of Greece. The Persian Empire has been invading nearby territories and has now come to Greece. King Leonidas hears word of this and kills the messenger who brings the news. This begins the bad relations between the Persians and Spartans. As they are preparing to stop the Persians, a physically handicapped man asks to help. King Leonidas does not want to put him in danger, and therefore does not let him join the militia. The physically handicapped man takes offense to this and goes to inform the Persians of the Spartan's plans in order to receive gold, women, and a level of Persian fame. The Spartans make their way to the Persian Army and a large battle ensues, with use of tricks such as building of a wall of dead Persian bodies, and intricate Spartan battle formations. Despite putting up a good fight, the three hundred Spartans ultimately lose out and die at the hands of the thousands of Persians. So the ancient tale goes.

Best part of story, including ending:
It is an entertaining movie, partially based in famous Greek myth.
Best scene in story:
My favourite scene is the final scene where the three hundred die. Some of the most epic movie making I have ever seen, and it is a noble thing that occurs.
Opinion about the main character:
I like the main character as he is the typical alpha-male needed for this sort of story, but on the other hand he is arrogant and therefore can be hard to watch.
Based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300-The Movie release in 2006. Many shots of the movie are entirely computer-created. Directed by Zack Snyder, on ancient history of Greece, the movie is taken beyond the extreme. The legendary and brave last stand by 300 finest soldiers of Sparta against the mighty and cruel Persians. They killed a thousands of Persians with there unbeatable skills before finally falling to the weight of Persians overwhelming numbers. The Persian king Xerxes declared himself as the God and tried to take over the whole Greece. Some diplomats advised king Leonidas to surrender. But he and his patriotic soldiers of Sparta never taught surrender and retreat in their lives. So the clash was necessary even they new that they would be dead. They stand against hundreds of deadliest immortals Persian army and even killed a lot of them. After 300 Spartans died, a thousand more stands for them later. This year of 2014, the second part of the epic story is coming soon. I won't miss it.
