Gerard Butler kicked off 2025 by reprising his role as Big Nick in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, but one action thriller from the star that’s nearly 20 years old has returned to streaming charts. Butler stars alongside Game of Thrones veteran Lena Headey and Dominic West in 300, the historical action epic telling the story of the 300 Spartan soldiers who stood courageously against Xerxes and his Persian army. 300 is currently streaming on Amazon MGM+, and not only is it trending in the United States, but it’s also piquing curiosity in other countries such as Peru. 300 grossed a whopping $456 million at the box office in 2006 on a $65 million budget, and the film also earned a 61% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an 89% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.
In addition to Butler, Headey, and West, 300 also stars Michael Fassbender as Stelios, Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes, and Peter Mensah as the Messenger. Zack Snyder wrote the screenplay for the film along with Kurt Johnstad and Michael B. Gordon, and Snyder also directed the film. 300 came at an interesting time for Snyder, who made his directorial debut two years earlier on Dawn of the Dead, the R-rated zombie horror movie starring Ving Rhames and Ty Burrell. Snyder followed up 300 three years later with Watchmen, which has become a cult classic superhero movie over the years, and it wasn’t long after that that he began work on the DCEU with Man of Steel. Snyder most recently directed Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire and Part Two: The Scargiver, which are both streaming on Netflix.
