In the movie 300—I don’t care how bad Zach Snyder’s other movies are, 300 is great, all right?—King Leonidas of Sparta attempts to defeat an overwhelming Persian army while outnumbered 30 to 1. His plan is to hold the Persians off in a defensive maneuver as long as possible, hoping to save his homeland. He knows, going in, that he’s doomed. But after the first day of battle, when his force successfully holds off the Persians, he starts to wonder...
Can he hope for more than a glorious death?
Can he actually win this thing?
