Description: Xerxes of Persia invades Greece with his army; Leonidas of Sparta fights back at Thermopylae.The futile yet inspiring stand of 300 Greek soldiers against the hugest army ever assembled in the ancient world inspired this typical example of Hollywood epic movie-making. King Leonidas of Sparta (Richard Egan, Demetrius and the Gladiators), prevented by political squabbling from sending his entire army to defend the narrow pass of Thermopylae, sets out with his personal bodyguard to fight off the ambitious Persian king, Xerxes. Along the way are a pair of young lovers, scantily clad dancing girls, and treachery though a secret mountain path. The 300 Spartans, made in 1961, has an overstated cold war subtext--there's much talk of freedom vs. slavery--and there are a few too many shots of armored men marching through the Greek countryside, but the historical conflict has a fundamentally stirring quality. Also featuring Sir Ralph Richardson (Dr. Zhivago, Dragonslayer) as a wily Athenian politician. --Bret FetzerProduct detailsAspect Ratio : 2.35:1Is Discontinued By Manufacturer : NoMPAA rating : Unrated (Not Rated)Product Dimensions : 7.5 x 0.7 x 5.4 inches; 2.54 OuncesItem model number : 2218327Director : Rudolph MatMedia Format : Multiple Formats, Color, NTSC, Anamorphic, WidescreenRun time : 1 hour and 48 minutesRelease date : May 11, 2004Actors : Richard Egan, Ralph Richardson, Diane Baker, Barry Coe, David FarrarSubtitles: : English, SpanishLanguage : Spanish (Dolby Digital 1.0), English (Dolby Digital 1.0), Unqualified (DTS ES 6.1), English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo)Studio : 20th Century FoxASIN : B0001NBMDKWriters : George St. George, Gian Paolo Callegari, Giovanni d'Eramo, Remigio Del Grosso, Ugo LiberatoreNumber of discs : 1No stock photos. The actual item is the one shown. Only items in pictures included. OOP - Out of Print. Sensormatic refers to the Security tag inside a DVD. It is put in at the factory before shipping usually on first releases by major studios. I use it to identify a genuine or authentic DVD - not a bootleg or a copy. I do NOT grade the actual plastic case unless it has a tooth missing or a large rip or tear or is a cardboard snap case. All of my DVDS are authentic releases and may have some wear on outer plastic case due to genuine age of product. A slit through the Barcode is common for some manufacturers to do when discounting additional copies to a retail store. It also helps to verify an authentic copy. Promotional items and inserts are left in place, I make no guarantees digital codes, promotions, or coupons will work. They are included as they were part of the original purchase. Items are packaged well with reused/recycled packaging in a mailer designed for CDs/DVDs. CDs/DVDs are shipped USPS Media Mail from the Baltimore, MD area next business day. Happy to combine shipping, just let me know.
