Synopsis:
"Alexander," Oliver Stone's sweeping historical saga that
charts the life and legend of one of the greatest figures in world
history. The story is an epic that is as daring and ambitious as its
subject, 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, and
its 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-to the rousing brotherly bonds 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, a man who
embraced the ideal that power has a destiny.
