synopsis
The true story of one of history's most luminous and influential leaders, Alexander the Great-–a man who had conquered 90% of the known world by the age of twenty-seven. Alexander led his virtually invincible Greek and Macedonian armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years, and by the time of his death at the age of thiry-two had forged an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. The story chronicles Alexander's path to becoming a living legend, from a youth fueled by dreams of myth, glory and adventure to his lonely death as a ruler of a vast Empire. Alexander is the incredible story of a life that united the Known World and proved, if nothing else, fortune favors the bold.

The crazy energy that redeems even Stone's worst films (Natural Born Killers, U Turn) barely surfaces in this poky take on the life of the Macedonian warrior who died at thirty-two. It's not that Colin Farrell, blondied up and looking rock-star ready to party,…
Oliver Stone's Alexander is the sprawling, epic life story of one of the greatest military commanders of all time, a man who conquered most of the known ancient world at a relatively young age. While a massive undertaking, to say the least, the film is still a thoroughly satisfying and poignant lesson in history. Story Elderly Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins), who once served under the great Alexander (Colin Farrell), narrates the life story of the man, the myth, the legend--the son of the ambitious… |
