Plot Summary
Oliver Stone re-creates the towering, true story of Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell), who, in the 4th Century BC, conquered Greece, Persia, Afghanistan and India – 90% of the "Known World." Against massive armies of chariots and elephants, he never lost a battle! Visionary, explorer, dreamer – he was also a tender son, torn by his mother's (Angelina Jolie) burning love and ambition and desperate for his father's (Val Kilmer) approval. His dream shaped the world we live in today.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Though the battles have the blood-and-sinew bravado you expect from Oliver Stone, this three-hour buttnumbathon is hamstrung by a hectoring grandiosity, not new to Stone, and a nod toward caution, which is.
Rotten: This is Stone's weakest movie of the past 20 years, and it's unlikely to make any kind of blip.
Rotten: Sluggish, unsmiling, and almost as limp as the feather fans with which our heroes are gently aerated on their trip to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Rotten: A lunk-headed train wreck that looks like a tag sale in a 323 B.C. supermarket in old Peking.
