300

In 300, Gerard Butler stars as King Leonidas of Sparta, the man assigned the daunting task of protecting his city from hundreds of thousands of advancing Persian soldiers. Actually, assigned might not be the right word since Leonidas more or less delegates himself and his men to protect Sparta. He does so against the advice of the Spartan council and their half-naked oracles who tell him that going to war with the Persians would ultimately lead to death. Nevertheless, Leonidas assembles an army of 300 highly trained Spartan soldiers and is joined by a small army of not-so-highly trained but equally eager commoners and they set out to defeat the Persian army - an army that outnumbers them at least 10 to 1. Leonidas' plan is to station his men at a narrow mountain corridor known as the "Gates of Hell" and it is there where they will fend off the Persians and kill them one by one if need be. Unfortunately for the King and his brave men, a betrayal takes place and the Persians are able to ambush the Spartans via a hidden path on the mountain. But these Spartan soldiers are taught at a young age to fight to the death and till every last drop of blood is spilled. It is something they are more than happy to do. As Leonidas not-so-subtly instructs his men - "Eat a hearty breakfast men, for tonight we dine in Hell!". Let the battle begin.
