The
characters of C.S. Lewis's timeless fantasy come to life once again in
this newest installment of
the "Chronicles of Narnia" series, in which the Pevensie siblings are
magically transported back from England to the world of Narnia, where a
thrilling, perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their
faith and courage awaits them. One year after the incredible events of
"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the Kings and Queens of Narnia
find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover
that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their
absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been
conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil
King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy.
The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia's
rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been
forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to
place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly
dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named
Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the
mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to
find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore
magic and glory to the land. Directed once again by veteran director
Andrew Adamson, screenplay by Andrew Adamson and Christopher Markus
& Stephen McFeely and produced by Mark Johnson, Andrew Adamson
and
Philip Steuer, the film reunites the original cast and creative team
behind the blockbuster first film in the series.
