Historical epics don’t come much more epic than this, the life story of the ancient King of Macedon, who in 4th Century BC united the cities of Greece and then conquered the legendary Persian Empire. Although the movie is about one of history’s greatest warriors and there are plenty of lavishly-staged battle scenes, it also deals with who the man was behind the sword, and the kind of brutal but honour-obsessed world in which he lived.
