300 is a ferocious re-telling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army of over one million. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.

The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival on 15 February 2007 to a standing ovation at the sold-out Berlinale Palast. Inspired by the work of best-selling graphic novelist Frank Miller, 300 is helmed by director Zack Snyder and stars Gerard Butler (as King Leonidas), Lena Headey (as Queen Gorgo) and Rodrigo Santoro (as Xerxes).

300 opens in cinemas islandwide from 8 March 2007.
