300
Historical accuracy takes a backseat to striking, albeit repetitive computer-generated visuals and six-pack abs when Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) disobeys the oracle priests to lead 300 valiant, trained-for-war Spartans (Vincent Regan, David Wenham, Michael Fassbender, et al.) in the horrific, futile, body-splattered Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his gruesome hordes of thousands.
