Alexander
(2004)

Action Adventure Biography

Director:

Oliver Stone

Stars:

Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, David Bedella, Jessie Kamm

Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight year...s. Coming out of tiny Macedonia (today part of Greece), Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at 33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest. Show More

Details

Alexander is an epic historical film that follows the extraordinary life and conquests of Alexander the Great. By the age of 25, Alexander had already conquered 90% of the known world, leading his armies through countless sieges and battles. Hailing from Macedonia, Alexander launched his armies against the powerful Persian Empire, subsequently venturing to Egypt, and finally making his way to India.

This film focuses on the intense eight years of battles that shaped Alexander's legacy. It also explores his close relationship with his childhood friend and battle companion, Hephaestion. Tragically, Alexander succumbed to illness at the young age of 33.

Alexander's conquests had a far-reaching impact, paving the way for the spread of Greek culture and ultimately facilitating the expansion of the Roman Empire. These conquests played a significant role in shaping the world as we know it today. Without Alexander's unifying and bloody conquests, the obstacles that prevented the spread of Christianity and hindered the expansion of the Roman Empire might never have been overcome.

Alexander is a visually stunning and thought-provoking film that takes viewers on a journey through the life of one of history's greatest conquerors. It captures the magnitude of Alexander's achievements and the complex relationships that shaped his extraordinary life.
