Must see movie.
The Battle of Thermopylae, the "Hot Gates".
300 Spartans along with a few allies against at least 200,000 soldiers of Xerxes (some estimates go up to 1,700,000+).
This movie won't be a documentary, it is Hollywood and therefore the history will be "enhanced", but ....... Wow ! :eek:

An interesting read on Thermopylae by Steven Pressfield can be found on Amazon:

This was referenced in an earlier thread. Re-make of older classic called the "300 Spartans" and one that I always watch if I catch it. Looking forward to this re-make.
