Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) is an action-adventure fantasy film directed by Mike Newell and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The movie is based on the popular video game series of the same name developed by Ubisoft. It blends elements of ancient mythology, epic battles, and time-manipulating powers into a visually stunning and fast-paced adventure.

The film is set in the mystical lands of ancient Persia and follows the journey of Dastan (played by Jake Gyllenhaal), a street orphan who is adopted by the king and becomes a prince. Dastan’s life takes a dramatic turn when he is framed for the murder of his adoptive father, the king, by the treacherous nobleman Nizam (Ben Kingsley). In his quest to clear his name and uncover the truth, Dastan teams up with the beautiful and enigmatic Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton).

Central to the story is a magical dagger that has the ability to turn back time, known as the Dagger of Time. This powerful artifact, if used by the wrong hands, could unleash catastrophic consequences. Dastan and Tamina must protect the dagger from falling into the hands of Nizam, who plans to use it to alter history and seize the throne.
