It's based on Frank Miller's graphic novel (the same guy who did Sin City and filmed with the same technology). It's also historical...so another reason for me to want to see it. Ancient Greece, where 300 Spartans (Gerry plays their king, Leonidas) manged to hold off the much larger invading Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae, saving Greece, although they all died to do it.
