Yes, almost 90% of that movie is true but legend is said that his mother pierced him with a bow and arrow, but the bow and arrow did not kill him, he returned to Macedonia and his mother poisined him, finally she won and killed him after also killing his father
that's false...
Alexander after the battle of hydaspes marched a bit further to India, where he saw the Indian kingdoms united against him and turned to Babylon. on his way or in the city of Babylon he got killed. some stories say that he was poisoned. in Egypt he got mumified and placed inside a glass coffin where everybody could admire this great personalit, leader and warrior. there are scripts that prove that this glass coffin was placed in Babylon and a lot of people traveled there to see it.

Did Alexander lose a war if he did what was it?
The events of his supposed defeat of King Porus of Hydaspes at the Battle of the Hydaspes River are strange - it was a close battle, and after Alexander 'won', he inexplicably gave back to Porus his kingdom of Hydaspes, and also donated to Porus his astounded ally King Taxiles' kingdom of Taxila. He then went on doing conquests for Porus to add to the latter's kingdom. It sounds more like Hydaspes River was a stalemate at best, if not a defeat for Alexander, given Alexander's obsequious approach to his alleged victim, but of course his tame historians are not going to admit it. It will remain a mystery.
Who defeated a powerful Indian army at the Hydaspes River in 326 BC?
Alexander
How did Alexander the Great fight his battles?
The first battle against the Persians was at the River Granicus, after Alexander crossed the Hellespont. Then he defeated them again, this time they were led by their King Darius III, at the Pinarus River (known as the Battle of Issus) - Darius fled. Alexander then defeated them again at the last and final battle against Darius III, which was at Guagamela. After this battle, Darius fled again and was captured and assassinated by his own men. Alexander then proclaimed himself King of the Persian Empire.
Did Alexander lose the battle of the hydaspes river?
No he actually did win.The greatest of Alexander's battles in India was against Porus, one of the most powerful Indian leaders, at the river Hydaspes in July 326 B.C.E. Alexander's army crossed the heavily defended river in dramatic fashion during a violent thunderstorm to meet Porus' forces. The Indians were defeated in a fierce battle, even though they fought with elephants, which the Macedonians had never before seen. Alexander captured Porus and, like the other local rulers he had defeated, allowed him to continue to govern his territory. Alexander even subdued an independent province and granted it to Porus as a gift.
Where is the Hydaspes River?
In Asia Minor.
