Description : Alexander The Great
was a relentless conqueror who by the age of 32 had amassed the greatest empire
the world had ever seen. Past and present collide to form the puzzle of the
protagonist, a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies in which childhood memories
and Alexander's rise to power unfold side by side with the later day expansion
of his empire, its gradual decline and ultimate downfall. From his youth, fueled
by dreams of glory and adventure, to his lonely and mysterious death as a ruler
of a vast state, from the tumultuous relationship with his parents - a powerful
king and a queen determined to put her child on the throne at any cost,
including murder - to the rousing "band of brothers" bond with his closest
companions and vast army, as they fought from the sun-scorched battlefields of
the Persian Empire across the snow-peaked mountains of India, the film
chronicles Alexander's journey to become a living legend. For as Virgil wrote,
"Fortune favors the bold." And no king or emperor, either before or after, ever
achieved such fortune, or indeed was so bold, as Alexander the Great.
