Prince of Persia 🎥 2010 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Dastan, a street urchin in Persia, is adopted by King Sharaman after showing courage. Fifteen years later at the Persian borderlands outside the Holy City of Alamut, the king’s brother Nizam relays evidence to the princes—Dastan, along with the king’s biological sons Tus and Garsiv—that weapons have been forged by Persia’s enemies. Tus directs the Persian army to capture Alamut. During the attack, Dastan defeats a royal guard and obtains a sacred dagger from him. Alamut falls to the Persians, but Tamina, the Princess of Alamut, denies that the city has any weapon forges.

Tus asks her to marry him to unite the two nations, and she only accepts after seeing the dagger in Dastan’s possession. At their celebratory banquet, Tus has Dastan give their father an embroidered robe. However, the robe is poisoned, fatally burning Sharaman. Garsiv accuses Dastan of the king’s murder. Dastan escapes with Tamina, and Tus is appointed king and a bounty on Dastan’s head is set. While in hiding, Tamina attempts to kill Dastan and steal the dagger, and in the struggle, Dastan discovers the dagger enables the wielder to travel back in time. Believing Tus invaded Alamut for the dagger, Dastan decides to confront his brother.

On the way, the two are captured by merchant-bandits led by Sheik Amar who seeks the reward money, but they manage to escape. After arriving in Avrat, Dastan tries to convince Nizam of his innocence. Seeing burns on Nizam’s hands, Dastan realizes that Nizam orchestrated the king’s murder. Dastan is forced to escape once again. Nizam sends a group of covert warriors, the Hassansins, to kill Dastan and find the dagger. Tamina later tells Dastan that long ago, the gods unleashed a great sandstorm to destroy humanity but were moved by a young girl’s offer to sacrifice herself in humanity’s place and trapped the Sands of Time in a large sandglass.
