Summary

  • Audiences can rejoice as there are numerous options to rent or buy the historical epic 300, allowing them to enjoy Zack Snyder's best work.
  • 300 is a visually stunning and hyper-stylized film that doesn't take itself too seriously, offering unforgettable scenes and memorable quotes.
  • Although not available for streaming, 300 is widely accessible for rental or purchase at affordable prices, with the best choice being in 4K for an optimal viewing experience.

Audiences hoping to watch 300 is Zack Snyder at his best, and the violent, hyper-stylized story perfectly suits the director's talents and skill set. Based on the graphic novel series by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 is a fictionalized retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) is the ruler of ancient Sparta, which is at war with the invading and unstoppable Persian army led by the God-King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). The spectacular battle is only momentarily paused for political scenes back in Sparta with Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey).

300 is full of memorable quotes, and the loud and bombastic film never takes its over-the-top story and visuals too seriously. 300 earned $456 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo) and led to a sequel in 2014, 300: Rise of an Empire. Whether it's Leonidas yelling, "This is Sparta!", Michael Fassbender leaping over a general in nothing but a loincloth, or a Spartan swiping arrows off his shield in dramatic slow motion, 300 is filled with unforgettable, cheer-worthy scenes. It's the kind of movie that can be turned on at any point during its runtime and still be enjoyed. Here's where 300 is currently available.

Unfortunately, 300 is not available on any streaming platforms at this time. Considering the popularity of the film, it comes as a bit of a surprise that the movie is not available anywhere. Snyder's significant body of work in the DC Universe is easily available on Max thanks to that platform's access to the Warner Bros. streaming library which includes the films in the DCEU. But despite a healthy number of Snyder films available on Max, 300, his most celebrated work, is not available for streaming there or anywhere.

Thankfully, 300 is widely available to rent or purchase on many notable platforms. Despite its immense popularity, 300 is available at relatively affordable prices compared to newer releases. The best options to rent or purchase are in 4K and should certainly be the preferred choice considering how important the cinematography and look of the film are to enjoying it.

300 is rated R for graphic battle sequences throughout, some sexuality, and nudity. While the violence is almost ridiculous in how stylized and non-stop it is, there are still often shocking and grotesque moments. The levels of violence combined with the unsettling, occasionally horrific story, make this one of Snyder's most mature films and not for younger viewers.
