The King of Macedonia leads his legions against the giant Persian Empire. After defeating the Persians, he leads his army across the then known world, venturing farther than any westerner had ever gone, all the way to India.

Oliver Stone’s Alexander, born from the director’s lifelong admiration for the Macedonian king, is a meticulous chronicle of the achievements of Alexander the Great. The huge scale of the battle scenes and the baroqueness of the production design match the richness of the historical material.
