This Zack Snyder marvel has, no doubt, heavily influenced action sequences in Hollywood. This tale of 300 Spartans going up against the Persian God-King Xerxes is absolutely mind-blowing. Along with the captivating war scenes, this movie also takes a deep dive into the political corruption of ancient times. Bravery, valor and love for freedom were the only weapons that Leonidas had, as he set out on a seemingly impossible task with his 300 companions, of which only one survives.
