The movie was released in 3D worldwide and is narrates a real sea-battle that took place in ancient Greece, with added fictional sequences. King Xerxes, son of Darius from the previous movie 300, takes this sequel ahead with his determination to conquer Greece. He travels through deserts and reaches a place with mysterious otherworldly water. He bathes in the water that turns him into a more-powerful God-King. He returns with the motive to call for a war against Greece. He builds a bridge between two ships in the city of Hellespont, which turns to ruins after a storm hits the ships. While Xerxes prepares for attacking Greece, Themistocles travels to Sparta to get help from King Leonidas and his army known for historically-hailed valour. The Greek army finds out about Artemisia, who has lost her family in a devastating event forcing her to become a sex-slave. She joins the Persians, where King Darius appoints her as the Naval Commander, to exploit her vengeance for fighting against the Greeks. Impressed by the bravery of Themistocles, Artemisia tries to seduce him but his refusal enrages her even more. The Greeks are attacked with tar and suicide bombers, which they have to fight back in order to save their army of three-hundred. Strategy, seduction, assassinations and unmatched bravery emphasise the key themes of this dynamic graphical war-movie. 300 - Rise of an Empire provides English subtitles to the viewers. 300 - Rise of an Empire (2014) was released by Warner Bros Studio in 2014 in DVD format with A rating.
