After its victory over Leonidas' 300, the Persian Army under the command of mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), marches towards the major Greek city-states. The Democratic city of Athens, first on the path of Xerxes' army, bases its strength on its fleet, led by admiral Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton). Themistocles is forced to an unwilling alliance with the traditional rival of Athens, oligarchic Sparta whose might lies with its superior infantry troops. But Xerxes still reigns supreme in numbers over sea and land. Directed by Noam Murro.
