The movie was a fictionalized account of an actual historical event.

It's incredibly fictionalized, however - and the movie isn't remotely similar to what happened in real life. The biggest difference being that in real life "the 300" - were slaughtered - none survived.

It's best to think of Hollywood movies that are based on real events as a type of, "What if it had happened this way" story, and to not accept anything at face value.

Documentaries are, in theory, supposed to be accurate depictions of real events. Even these however are often very skewed and misrepresented.

A movie made for entertainment that is "based on a real event" can by-and-large be accepted as, "This event actually happened, and that's about all the accurate information we're going to use."
