De film is chronologisch opgebouwd en volgt de traditionele geschiedschrijving over Alexander de Grote. Zijn mateloze dadendrang wordt verklaard door de drijverijen van Olympias (die haar zoon zijn goddelijke afkomst aanpraatte) en door zijn streven om zijn vader te overtreffen.
Nee, helaas is Alexander the Great nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
