300,

DVD ZONE 2 NEW Languages: French, English Subtitles: French As the Persians, led by the tyrannical King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), are about to invade Greece, Leonidas (Gerard Butler, impressive), King of Sparta, is refused the right to commit his army to war by his superstitious city. Leonidas, pragmatic, then bypasses the decision by leading his three hundred best warriors, ready to die for him, to the abrupt pass of Thermopylae, the most suitable place to block the enemy hordes. Frank Miller's graphic novels continue to inspire filmmakers. After Sin City, it was the turn of 300 to be adapted for the screen in 2006, by the young Zack Snyder, director of the very successful Dawn of the Dead. The result is truly breathtaking.
