Ubisoft's
popular video-game series of the same name gets adapted for the big
screen in
this sweeping fantasy adventure starring Jake
Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton.
The setting is
sixth century Persia. A nefarious nobleman covets the Sands of Time, a
legendary gift from the gods that allows its possessor to turn back
time. Whoever
owns the Sands of Time has the power to rule the world, and this
villainous
lord would use that power to enslave all of humanity. The only person
capable
of defeating this tyrant and saving the world is Dastan (Gyllenhaal), a
youthful prince. Now, with plucky princess Tamina (Gemma
Arterton) by his side, Dastan
will attempt to prevent the Sands of Time from falling into the wrong
hands. Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
directs a script penned by Carlo Bernard,
Doug Miro, Jordan Mechner, and Boaz
Yakin.
