HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE 300 FROM IMDB

It is spring, 480 BC Persian King Xerxes, continuing his fathers, Darius, master plan to conquer the Hellenic city-states, arrives in Hellas. The previous Persian invasion and diplomatic attempts have already turned most northern Hellas tribes and states to the Persian side. But the people of Athens and Sparta, the largest Hellenic powers at the time, feel quite insulted by the Persian emissaries requesting their surrender to Xerxes and slay them. In Sparta, King Leonidas consults the local oracle, which gives two options: either a spartan king will have to be sacrificed or Sparta will be burned to the ground. A year earlier (481, BC) a panhellenic consortium of all southern city-states have already recognized the superiority of the spartan army (the best organized and trained army at the time) and have announced King Leonidas supreme commander of the combined Hellenic army. It is then decided that a small force should block Xerxes' way to southern Hellas in the Thermopylae passage.This passage was at that time 12 meters wide.The great historian Herodotus, possibly exaggerating, states that there were 1700000 Persians(their true number could be anywhere around 100000 and 1000000) against 7000 Hellenic hoplites and slaves, including the 300 men of the spartan king elite guard. King Xerxes waited for 4 days for the Hellenes to be frightened and eventually surrender and was quite astonished by his opponents complete apathy who were following their daily program practicing and making their hair! After that Xerxes tried to convince Leonidas to drop weapons, give up his position, kneel before him and live on as a local governor under Xerxes. King Leonidas replied "molon lave", which means "Come and get them". Then the 3 days battle begun with the 300 Spartans, and 700 thespians (the other Hellenes where sent by Leonidas to protect passages to their flanks) slaying thousands of Persians with minimal losses. The whole Persian campaign would have fail if there wasn't Efialtes who showed Xerxes a secret passage to the Hellenic flanks. After a final battle lead by king Xerxes himself the Hellenic force was completely slain and their heroism and glory was written forever in history. From the beginning of the battle the Hellenes buried their dead in the spot they fell dead. After the battle signs where made for the dead of each Hellenic faction. For the pelloponisians generally (including the 300 Spartans) the sign reads(free translation) 'In this place 4000 thousand pelloponisians fought 30 millions), for the 300 Spartans(lakaedaemonians) especially the sign reads(free translation) 'Oh foreigner tell the lakaedaemonians that we are buried here obeying their laws' meaning that they never hesitated and never retreated from the enemy. The impact of the battle was enormous for both sides. The Persians' morale dropped to zero and the Hellenes lost their fear for the Persian conqueror and organized their defense. After several successful battles the Hellenes ultimately defeated the Persian army and repelled their invasion in the Battle of plataea in 479 BC. Written by Harris o Harros

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE 300 FROM DVDTALK

The Movie: Who by now has not heard the tale of King Leonidas and the brave 300 who kept the uncountable numbers of Xerxes' Persian Army at bay, at the cost of their own lives? And if this glorious feat of ancient history was destined to be relayed only as an aside in history classes around the world, it spurred enough interest in author Frank Miller (best known for The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City) to pen a graphic novel retelling the story, albeit with a twist. And now Miller's version has been immortalized as a feature film by director Zack Snyder (the Dawn of the Dead remake, the director of the upcoming Watchmen adaptation). And while the ads for it certainly looked exciting, no one expected the runaway success the film had in early 2007, making over $70 million in its opening weekend, and over $200 million overall.

King Leonidas of Sparta (Gerard Butler), born and bred for war, is met by a messenger of the Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), hellbent on conquering the known world. The messenger requests that Sparta give an offering of earth and water, as a symbol of their submission to Xerxes' rule. Despite the misgivings of some on the Spartan High Council, Leonidas rejects the offer and prepares to go to war. But before he does, he must get the blessing of the Spartan oracle. Unfortunately, the priests of the oracle have been paid off by Xerxes, and they declare that Sparta is not to go to war under any circumstances. Bound by ancient laws he dare not break, Leonidas makes a desperate gamble and takes 300 of his best warriors to fight, as a personal bodyguard. These men face legions of Persian soldiers, so numerous that their marches shake the very ground. But these Persians face not just men, they face Spartans. And they, they shall learn is no small thing indeed, as wave after wave of Persian attack break against the Spartans like water against rock.

There was a King Leonidas of Sparta. He did lead his army to fight the Persians. At his last stand, he had 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians at his command. The days that Leonidas held off the Persians allowed the Athenian Navy to collect themselves and eventually defeat Xerxes. This is known as The Battle of Thermopylae. Beyond these details, there is very little connecting the actual historical events to 300, whether we're discussing Miller's graphic novel or Snyder's cinematic adaptation. Miller was not interested in a line for line retelling. He used the battle, and the story of the 300 as a symbol. A symbol of freedom, a symbol of glory, pride, and bravery. That he throws in mythical beasts, grotesque creatures, and massive exaggerations matters not. They're included to make the telling more grand, to make the Spartans victory that more astonishing. Furthermore, the Battle of Thermopylae took place in Ancient Greece, in a time where people believed in magic and gods and eastern mysticism. It makes sense that Miller, and by extension Snyder, include some of the more outlandish creatures spoken of in those days.
