## Summary

Fans are streaming Zack Snyder's 2007 film "300" in growing numbers as they anticipate Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey", turning to a two-decade-old ancient-world epic to recapture the mood of gods and warriors ahead of the new release. The film, starring Gerard Butler as King Leonidas, dramatises the Battle of Thermopylae and was one of Snyder's earliest major works, made a decade before he took charge of the DC Extended Universe.

Based on the 1998 graphic novel, "300" earned over $468 million worldwide, making it the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2007, and won Best Action, Adventure, or Thriller Film and Best Director at the Saturn Awards. It has recently climbed to number five on Vudu's US Top 10 Movies chart, between "Cast Away" and "Jurassic Park", and holds a 61% critics' score alongside an 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting a divide between mixed critical reaction and strong popular appeal.
