"300" is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the deathagainst Xerxes and his massive Persian army.

Production cost: $60,000,000 Box Office Revenue: $455,000,000 Good review: If 300 represents an evolution in 'virtual' cinema, then at the same time it tells a story that transports us back to the violent roots of western civilisation. Bad Review: 300 has one-dimensional caricatures who talk like professional wrestlers plugging their next feud. Director: Zack Snyder Cast: Gerard Butler – King Leonidas Lena Heady – Queen Gorgo Dominic West - Theron
