Short description

The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13 Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton). No one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture!

What's left behind the scenes

One of the main musical themes of the film is Gloria Gaynor's song "I Will Survive".
During the Spartans and Persians' breakdancing competition, Eve's song "Tambourine" plays.
One of the phrases uttered by the Oracle to Leonid is a popular quote from the television series "Heroes" — "Save the cheerleader, save the world."
At one point in the film, a character named Xerxes is told he looks "like that fat guy from 'Borat'." Ken Davitian, who played Xerxes, was that fat guy.
One of the lines spoken by the Oracle to Leonid is a popular phrase from the television series 'Heroes' — 'Save the cheerleader, save the world.'
