Spoilers ahead
300 begins with a voice-over that details the arduous journey of Spartan boys transforming into seasoned Spartan warriors. As a child is born, a Spartan baby inspector scrutinizes the newborn atop a cliff, where the remnants of those who were deemed unfit lie below. Any sign of weakness or illness results in a lethal consequence for the infant. The boys are trained in combat from a young age, and at the age of seven, they are separated from their mothers to embark on rigorous training and initiation rituals before they are allowed to return home.
