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. Warner Bros. |
