Rare William Shatner Historical Epic | Alexander the Great (1963) Full Classic Movie

Alexander the Great (1963) Full Movie stars William Shatner and Adam West in a rare classic historical adventure filmed before Star Trek and Batman made them television legends. This vintage sword-and-sandal movie follows Alexander the Great as he faces the Persian army, a war-weary command and a deadly conspiracy within his own ranks. Originally filmed in color as the pilot for a proposed television series in 1963 and first broadcast in 1968, this seldom-seen production was directed by Phil Karlson and features Joseph Cotten, John Cassavetes, Simon Oakland, John Doucette, Ziva Rodann and Cliff Osmond. When Cleander is captured by Persian soldiers, Alexander rides into danger to save the man he considers a brother. After a bloody ambush leaves the king missing and presumed dead, ambitious generals begin planning a retreat. Alexander’s unexpected return changes everything. He orders an exhausting forced march toward Memnon’s army, even as hidden enemies prepare to strike from within. The campaign builds to betrayal, sacrifice, mass battle and a personal sword duel that will decide the fate of the army.
