300 Spartans-The Real Story. Putting aside the myths and legends, this documentary takes a detailed look at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC Greece leading to the last stand of the 300 Spartans and Spartan King Leonidas. On the 3rd day of the battle, when Leonidas was being surrounded, he sent most of his troops away and covered their retreat with a last stand because Spartans never retreated.

Ancient Greece transforms from a cinematic myth into a brutal, tactical landscape of sand and steel. This documentary strips away the stylized legends to examine the actual military maneuvers that defined the stand at Thermopylae.
