This question involved the difference between the production of movies and historical facts. In the movie 300, the 800 Spartans were depicted as 300, but this number was based on fictional plot and visual effects. In fact, Sparta did have an army of hundreds of warriors in its history, but this number was not certain because the number of soldiers depended on specific tactics, environment, and needs. In "300," this number was the result of the movie producers 'fictional setting based on the needs of the story. Although the movie 300 described the feat of 800 Spartan warriors, the movie did not match the historical facts. Historical research shows that Sparta had at most 3000 soldiers in history, not 800.
