The movie "Alexander" traces the short but adventures life of the Macedonian conqueror, Alexander the Great(356-323 B.C.)., whom conquered almost the entire known world of his era. His father was King Philip of Macedonia who was murdered in 336 B.C. Upon his father's murder Alexander ascended the throne at the age of 20. After he became the king he crossed into Asia chasing his father's murderer but it led to a 11-year conquest of the know world. The movie traces his conquests of Egypt, to battles with the Persians and the capture of Babylon, operations near Maracanda and in Afghanistan, and pushing all the way to India where he reigned unchallenged before his sudden death at the age of 32 in Babylon. Although Alexander used the well-oiled army created by his father, King Philip, he pushed the limits of Macedonian and Greek power to the levels King Philip could not have dreamt of.
