The 300 Spartans.

Xerxes I of Persia leads a vast army of soldiers into Europe to defeat the small city-states of Greece. In Corinth, Themistocles of Athens wins the support of the Greek allies and convinces both the delegates and the Spartan representative, Leonidas I, to grant Sparta leadership of their forces. After several days of fighting, Xerxes grows angry as his army is repeatedly routed by the Greeks, with the Spartans in the forefront. The Thespians, who had refused to leave, are overwhelmed (offscreen) while defending the rear.
