I've always said they really should do a full-scale war movie based on the battle of Thermopylae. And maybe they will. George Clooney's producing company apparently owns the rights to the Steven Pressfield's 1998 historical fiction account "Gates of Fire". Of course, there's a 1960 film called "The 300 Spartans", but 1960 war films feel like documentaries, not wars.
If you don't know what happened at Thermopylae, you should. It was possibly the greatest battle in human history.
