The film is based on the biography of "Alexander the Great of Macedonia." It gives a glimpse
into some of the key moments of Alexander's youth, and his invasion of the mighty Persian
Empire, until his tragic death. It also outlined his life experience during his youth,
including his difficult relationship with his father Philip II of Macedonia, the unification
of the Greek city-states under the League of Corinth, and the conquest of the Persian Empire
in 331 BC as well as his new plans to reform his empire, and the attempts made to reach the
end of the world. The storyline begins in 356 BC with Ptolemy I Soter, who narrates the story
throughout the film. In lavish sets and images Oliver Stone shows the daily life in court of
his father Philip and portraying the crippling relationship between his parents. Alexander
grows up together with his mother Olympias and his tutor Aristotle where he finds interest
in love, honour, music, exploration, poetry and military combat. He also witnesses how his
relationship with his father is destroyed and objects strenuously to his father's new marriage
of Attalus' niece, Eurydice. Thereafter Philip is assassinated and Alexander becomes king of
Greece and Macedonia. After a brief mentioning of his punitive razing of Thebes and burning
of Persepolis, Ptolemy gives an overview of Alexander's west Persian campaign, including his
declaration to be the son of Zeus by the Oracle of Amun at Siwa Oasis, his great battle against
the Persian Emperor Darius III in the Battle of Gaugamela, and his eight year campaign at
Hydaspes against Porus in India (now Pakistan), both of which are shown in the film. The plot
also illustrates Alexander's private relationship with his childhood friend, and lover,
Hephaistion, and later his wife Roxana until his death.
