Every Friday and Saturday night at 11:55pm, it's another Midnight Movie Classic at the Landmark River Oaks Theatre.

Friday-Saturday, January 16-17: 300.

A ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army.

Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy.

Inspired by the work of graphic novelist Frank Miller (creator of Sin City), it's an epic adventure about the passion, courage, freedom and sacrifice embodied by the Spartan warriors who fought one of the greatest battles in history.

Miller's acclaimed graphic novel is brought to life by director/co-writer Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead), who combines live action with virtual backgrounds to capture Miller's distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.
