Warner Bros. Pictures News: World Premiere of ``Alexander'' Tuesday, Nov. 16.
WHAT: Oliver Stone's "Alexander" is based on the true story of
one of history's most luminous and influential leaders,
Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell), a man who had
conquered 90% of the known world by the age of 25.
Alexander led his virtually invincible Greek,
Macedonian, and later Eastern 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
chronicles Alexander's path to becoming a living legend,
from a youth fueled by dreams of myth, glory, and
adventure to his lonely and mysterious death as ruler of
a vast empire.
