The facts behind it are accurate (most historians say between 75% and 90% accurate depending on who you ask) but it is portrayed by Hollywood so of course it isn't perfect. I've read a few books on the subject and the movie did a great job at showing what being a Spartan was all about. Either way its a great movie. It was the same for American Gangster. I watched it recently but about 2 years ago I read 3 books on the subject and the movie did a great job but as everybody involved in that drug lord time has different facts about what really happened the movie picked one set of facts (those by Lucas) which could be right or wrong, nobody will ever know. Almost every one of those guys has written books (including the military guy overseas who arranged the transport of the drugs) so its hard to tell between the real facts.
