Movie quotes

  • (..) They cannot be killed or defeated. Not this darkness. Not these Immortals. Immortals? We'll put their name to the test. Into the Hot Gates we march. Into that narrow corridor we march... ...where Xerxes' numbers count for nothing. Spartans, citizen-soldiers, freed slaves. (..)

  • (..) Now, we will block ...by rebuilding the great Phocian Wall. And from there, we will funnel them into the mountain pass we call the Hot Gates. Now, in that narrow corridor, their numbers will count for nothing. And wave after wave of Persian attack... ...will smash against Spartan shields. (..)
