The story of Alexander the great (at least in two movies) told step by step and on a 360° view. Alexander was only 20 when inherited the throne of Macedon. Two years later he started a campaign against the mighty Persian Empire, conquering it in less than 10 years, without a single defeat in battle. He died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 32 in Babylon. Probably the best option is to divide the film in three chapters: one about his childhood and the relationship with his parents, one about the events leading to Gaugamela, one about the campaigns in the eastern part of the empire until his death.read more

Description of Alexander the III of Macedon:

Born in 356 BC by Philip the II of Macedon and Olympias of Epyrus, he inherited (after ambiguous and tumultuous circumstances) the throne of his father at the age of 20. After 2 years spent securing his power in mainland Greece and the northern borders, he launched an invasion of Asia, seeking revenge for the invasions of Greece by the Persians 150 years before. He conquered in 8 years Asia Minor, the Levant, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Bactria and India. After his return in Babylon he suddenly died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 32.
