300 Spartiates
Then the good news, from CBR:
On March 9 th, Warner Bros. Pictures releases in cinemas "300," based on the 1998 Dark Horse Comics graphic novel by Frank Miller. The film is the second in a series of tremendously faithful adaptations of the author's comics work, and depicts in blindingly gorgeous effect Miller's telling of the story of the Battle of Thermopylae. It is crucially important to remember that fact while viewing "300;" that it is not a filmic recreation of the Battle of Thermopylae, but rather, a filmic recreation of Frank Miller's particular vision of the Battle Thermopylae, as it is by virtue of that fact that "300" achieves its most stunning victories as well as its occasionally awkward defeats.
"300" is a film truly worthy of the word "epic," firstly because of its hugely dramatic, (kind of) true story. It's 480 BC, and ancient Greece lies in the path of the Persian Empire, the largest of the ancient world and, as depicted in "300," simply the most awesome and powerful force in the history of all things. A Persian emissary is dispatched to the Greek state of Sparta, where he informs the warrior-king Leonidas (played in the film by Gerard Butler) that Sparta and his rule over her will be maintained if Leonidas allows Sparta to be annexed peacefully by the Persian emperor Xerxes the Great.
