Alexander Screening
Screening Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at The Continental Theater (I-25 & Hampden) in Denver
He was many things to many people - a dashing warrior king, filled with ambition, courage and the arrogance of youth, leading his vastly outnumbered forces against the massive Persian armies... a son desperately longing for the approval of his stern, battle-scarred father, torn and conflicted by his mother's legacy... a relentless conqueror who never lost a battle and drove his soldiers to the very edges of the known world... a visionary whose dreams, deeds and destiny echo through eternity, helping to shape the world as we know it today. He was all that and more. He was Alexander the Great.

Oliver Stone's Alexander is based on the true story of one of history's most luminous and influential leaders - 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.

Set in Alexander's pre-Christian world of social customs and morals, far different from today's, the film explores a time of unmatched beauty and unbelievable brutality, of soaring ideals and staggering betrayals. The film takes a bold, honest look at Alexander's life and his relationships with his mother, Olympias, his father Philip, his lifelong friend, and battle commander Hephaistion, Roxane, his ambitious and beautiful wife, and his trusted general and confidant Ptolemy.
