20 Quotes For Action Fans
If you love action movies, you will love these 300 quotes!
300 is a historical action movie released in 2006 based on Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s comic book series of the same name.
Written and directed by Zach Snyder, 300 grossed over $456 million at the box office but received mixed reviews from critics.
Many liked the action and visuals but did not care for the depiction of the Persians in the movie.
The star-studded cast includes Gerard Butler and Lena Headey, among others.
The plot of 300 is that King Leonidas has to fight for the freedom of his people.
Even though they are outnumbered, he leads 300 of his Spartan warriors against the Persian “God-King” Xerxes, who has more than 300,000 soldiers in his army.
The movie is action-packed but also shows the drama of the Greek council having to decide whether to help King Leonidas and his soldiers or leave them on their own.
The movie’s success spawned a sequel called Rise of an Empire and a prequel comic book novel called Xerxes.
