iWant Epic Drama Collection

Collection of three epic historical – and prehistorical – adventures. ‘300’ (2007) is adapted from the graphic novel by Frank Miller and is a modern retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., when the 100,000 strong invading Persian Army of King Xerxes was held back in a narrow mountain pass by 300 Spartans. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) is given four days by Persia’s King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to lay down his arms and surrender. Leonidas rejects the proposal and battle ensues. The Spartans are only defeated by the treachery of a local shepherd, Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), who shows the Persians a secret route, enabling them to outflank their opponents. In ‘Beowulf’ (2007), after destroying the overpowering demon Grendel (Crispin Glover), the mighty warrior Beowulf (Ray Winstone) incurs the undying wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother (Angelina Jolie), who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalising the name of Beowulf. Finally, in ‘10,000 B.C.’ (2008), in a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter D’Leh (Steven Strait) has met the woman of his dreams, the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Belle). But when a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D’Leh must lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. As they venture into unknown lands for the first time, the hunters discover there are civilisations beyond their own and that mankind’s reach is far greater than they ever knew.Synopsis
This action-packed triple box set contains:
300:
Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, 300 takes over the screen like an invading horde. With all the gushing blood of a horror movie and the scope of a classic epic, the second film from Zack Snyder (who helmed the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead) is an impressive visual spectacle. In 300, Gerard Butler (PS I Love You) plays Leonidas, the king of ancient Sparta. The city is famous for its warrior philosophy and Leonidas won’t kneel to the demands of Persia’s King, Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro, Lost). Instead, Leonidas leads his 300-strong army against Xerxes’s army of millions. Meanwhile, his wife (Lena Headey, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) campaigns in Sparta for the city to send reinforcements, as she butts heads with the treacherous Theron (Dominic West, The Wire).
10,000 BC:
In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter D’Leh (Steven Strait, The Convenant) has found his heart’s passion – the beautiful Evolet (Camilla Bell, When A Stranger Calls). But when a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D’Leh must lead a small group of hunters to the end of the world in order to rescue her. As they venture into unknown lands, the group discovers there are civilisations beyond their own and that mankind’s reach is far greater then they ever knew. With each new encounter D’Leh starts to build his small group into an army. Driven by destiny, the unlikely warriors must battle prehistoric predators whilst braving the harshest elements.
Beowulf:
Robert Zemeckis directs the CGI-animated Beowulf, starring the voices of Angelina Jolie, Ray Winstone and Anthony Hopkins. After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, Beowulf incurs the undying wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother, who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. What follows in an epic battle that will resonate through the ages, and immortalise the name of Beowulf.
