WHAT MEASURES WILL THEY TAKE TO ACHIEVE VICTORY?

330 B.C.: Alexander the Great begins his bloody and violent campaign across the Afghan Kingdoms... Among the ranks of the Macedonian infantry is Matthias. The youngest of three brothers, he is eager to prove himself, but as he joins the front-line, he comes to understand that war has changed.

The Macedonians face a new type of enemy and must learn to fight a new style of warfare. Living through fear, euphoria, terror, and shame, Matthias and his companions undergo a rite of passage as soldiers of a Western power, whose code is secular and humanitarian, confront a proud Eastern warrior people keen to die for their cause.

Just to survive, Alexander's men must shed their "civilized" habits and adopt the same innovative and brutal tactics as their opponent - but is this a price worth paying?
