300: RISE OF
AN EMPIRE
Based
on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and
told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new
chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as
Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the
charge that will change the course of the war.
“300:
Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading
Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful
commander of the Persian navy.
