They are strong. They are hard. They are Spartans. When an invading army of millions under the command of Persian King Xerxes sets its sights on Greece, one by one the kings of the Aegean nations surrender or fall to Xerxes' rule. Only King Leonidas (Richard Egan) of Sparta refuses to bow. Leading 300 of his strongest warriors to the narrow pass of Thermopylae, Leonidas prepares to make the greatest stand in history. With no reinforcements and incalculable odds stacked against them, these 300 Spartans are the last hope for Greece, for freedom and for the future of Western Civilization!
