Sharaman plans for Dastan to succeed him some day as the king and instead chooses an heir other than his own son. During the celebration, Dastan gives a prayer robe to his father as a gift. Hailed as a hero and The Lion of Persia, Dastan is celebrated by his brothers, his uncle, and his father, King Sharaman. Inside the city at the top of the castle is Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton), guardian of the sacred dagger, entrusts it to a messenger, while trying to escape with it, Dastan tackles him and retrieves the dagger. Dastan opens the gates, sparing his brothers and their uncle extensive bloodshed, and the victory.

Dastan believes that a full on attack of the fortified walls is suicide and disobeys orders and instead scales the walls with the help of his bowmen. As Dastan is younger than the two princes are, Tus tells Dastan that he is not ready yet. Tus, ordering the attack asks his younger brother, Garsiv ( Toby Kebbell), to lead the assault on horseback. Nazim claims that the city is selling WMDs (swords, and steel-tipped arrows), to the enemies of the Persian Empire. On the eve of laying siege of the holy city of Alamut, the king's eldest son, Tus (Richard Coyle), counseled by his uncle Nazim ( Ben Kingsley), who recommends an attack on the city against Sharaman's order. Dastan grows up, as a prince along with Sharaman's two other sons Tus and Garsiv. Like the fabled Aladdin, a diamond in the rough, the king sees how the boy stood up for his friend, and Sharaman realizing that this boy whose blood is not of his own, will not attempt to seize the throne from him by force or guile, raises his as his own. We are told the story about the mighty Persian Empire in the time of King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup), who saves the life of Dastan (Gyllenhaal), a young street boy and adopts him into the royal family. The film starts appropriately enough with the lines, Long ago, in a land far away. Ultimately, this is a Jerry Bruckheimer ( "Pirates of the Caribbean" films) production in collaboration with Disney and will receive the box office attention and respect that the two have earned. He also serves as an executive producer and screen story contributor on the film.
#Prince of persia sand of time series#
Based on the "Prince of Persia" video game series created by Jordan Mechner. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton, "The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is a swashbuckling revival of the Errol Flynn era of filmmaking. Prince of Persia is a film that the whole family can enjoy. "Shrek Forever After" is a story about what if this didn't happen, and so is "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." The story is intricate, and the production is elaborate, and rated PG-13. Not counting the final episodes of "Lost" and "Flash Forward," time travel seems to be on the mind of Hollywood writers a lot these days. He Prince of Persia" is the second film that I have seen this week that has to do with the subject of time travel.
