Story added by alessandrocalabrese on March 18, 2020

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 Philotas:

Philotas was son of the great general Parmenion. He was one of the companions of Alexander, and during the conquest of Asia he was appointed supreme commander of the companion cavalry, the elite unit of Alexander's cavalry. But, in 330 BC, during the campaign in Aria (north-eastern Iran/southern Afghanistan), he learned about a conspiracy against the king and did not refer those facts to him, so, when Alexander was aware of the conspiracy, along with his generals, sentenced Philotas to death.
