Gerard Butler as King Leonidas standing over the battle in 300 custom image
Zack Snyder's first major comic book adaptation, 300, is coming to Netflix soon. A historical epic based on the comic book by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, it tells the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, where a small group of Spartans stood against Persia's forces to defend the whole of Greece. While the story is an entirely fantastical version of the actual battle, it became a box office hit, earning $456 million on a budget of just $65 million.
Did You Know: Snyder's career as a director began with Dawn of the Dead just three years before 300 , and he worked alongside DC's now co-CEO, James Gunn.

That is exactly what Snyder achieved with his hit movie.
