Studio Synopsis: The true story of one of historyÕs most luminous and influential leaders (Colin Farrell)Ša man who had conquered 90 percent of the known world by the age of 25. 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 32 had forged an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. The film takes a bold, honest look at AlexanderÕs life and his relationships with his mother, Olympias (Angelina Jolie), his father Philip (Val Kilmer), his lifelong friend and battle commander Hephaistion (Jared Leto), Roxane, his ambitious and beautiful Bactrian wife (Rosario Dawson), and his trusted general and confidant Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins). Set in AlexanderÕs pre-Christian world of social customs and morals far different from todayÕs, the film explores a time of unmatched beauty and unbelievable brutality, of soaring ideals and staggering betrayals.
