Jake Gyllenhaal plays Dastan, a street rat who was picked up by the king after a show of unusual bravery and adopted as his son, thus becoming Prince Dastan, younger brother to the king's two natural sons.
After they are grown they get word that a city they have been allied with has been hiding weapons and plan an attack. The persians attack first with Dastan kicking butt in a wonderful series of movies that would make Lee or Norris proud! The Princess Tamina (played by Gemma Arterton) is captured and will become the wife of one of the princes' to insure an alliance. She is a wild one who will not be tamed.
During the declaration Dastan presents a cloak to his father (given to him by his brother, the next in line to present) as a gift. After the king dons the cloak he dies from burning poison. Dastan of course is accused and is on the run for his life, taking the princess with him. While on their journey to prove his innocence he learns the knife he took from her is powerful..it has the ability to turn back time..but only for one minute at a time.
VERY good movie I loved it and plan on buying it.
