Il giovane Alessandro Magno, desideroso di gloria e avventura, parte dalla Macedonia per conquistare ed estendere il suo dominio portando il suo esercito in zone dove fino ad allora mai nessun occidentale si era spinto. Portava dentro di sé il bisogno di ottenere l'approvazione del padre Filippo, di superare le difficoltà con l'ambiziosa moglie Roxane e contare sul sostegno del grande amico Efestione. Insieme al generale Tolomeo non viene mai battuto in guerra, cosa mai successa nella storia militare. Alessandro e i suoi uomini si spingono attraverso deserti, montagne, lottando contro chiunque osi ostacolare il loro cammino...
