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 Porus:

Porus was the king of the indian kingdom of Paurava, beetwen the Idaspes (nowadays Jhelum) and Acesines river (in the Punjab). Porus fought Alexander on the Idaspes River, deploying a great number of war elephants that scared the Macedonians. Alexander won that battle, but his army was exasperated, and him fascinated by the elephants and by Porus's bravery, so he let him as satrap of the region. He died in 317, killed by a Greek general.
