No and yes. The movie "300" is based on the graphic novel written by Frank Miller which in turn was inspired by the movie "The 300 Spartans" that came out in the 60's which is based on the actual event. The story presented in "300" has been diluted and somethings have been altered. It is not an fully accurate representation of the Battle of Thermopylae.

While the battle of thermopoly is a true battle in history, the story 300 is based on a Frank Miller Comic Book

Yes, and no. The movie is based on a comic book that is based on the battle. The movie is not historically accurate on many points, such as buildings, wall size, tactics and other a items, to make it more exciting to watch, so really the movie should be viewed more as a moving graphic novel than a documentary.

Yes it is based on historical facts. Minus the giant 10 story elephants they threw in there for fun. Good movie worth the money to see in theatre. 5 out 5.
Peace

Yes. One of the most famous battles in ancient history.
If you go to Greece, there are statues of King Leonidas.
