300 is a 2007 American action film based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller. It is a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. The film was directed by Zack Snyder, while Miller served as executive producer and consultant. It was filmed mostly with a super-imposition chroma key technique, to help replicate the imagery of the original comic book.
The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into battle against Persian "god-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army of more than one million soldiers. As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.
300 was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters in the United States on March 9, 2007, and on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD on July 31, 2007. The film's opening was the 24th largest in box office history. It received acclaim for its original visuals and style, but was criticized for favoring visuals over characterization and its controversial depiction of the ancient Persians.

Beneath the barren hills
Near the roaring sea
Like some deformed form
Of some primeval myth
Carnival of blood begins
Amputated bleeding soul
Fell on the battle ground
Piles of dead body lay
Frozen blood all around
Spears thrusting deep down
In this unholy feast
Vehement of Spartans flared
Masters of swords and spears
Fear they never knew
In masters lingered thirst
Welcomed the grey dawn
Outnumbered and a forlorn hope still exist
But the Spartans defied the relent
The mighty doom’s on
Awaiting for the day
One more day to forever enter hell
This is Sparta !!
Immortals laid down on the ground
To the death they were always bound
Death beheld thou no more pain
Death be thy final praise
Ere passed the great Spartans
Resting on their majestic grave
Stirring at the world they lived in
3 days of fortitude
3 days of grace
We are not your fantasy warrior
This is the story of the fortitude
We are, eternally born to fight
The falling rain
The black drops burn the frozen hearts with guit and pain
Surrounded by fear no where to run!
The star that shines an dawn
Brings us back the hope that once was stolen
By the sin that kills the human souls in chains
Time will come Well, I don't know the day
But we most wait for our King's Returning
Let's stand up and pray
We all can see the tragedies
The horrors of the world wide misery
It's the scene of an kind blinded by the liar
