Conquering
90%
of
the
known
world
by
the
age
of
25
Alexander
the
Great
(Farrell)
led
his
armies
through
22
000
miles
of
sieges
and
conquests
in
just
eight
years.
Coming
out
of
tiny
Macedonia
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
