The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American action adventure fantasy film directed by Jon Turteltaub and written by Matt Lopez, Doug Miro, and Carlo Bernard. It is loosely based on the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment from Walt Disney’s 1940 animated film Fantasia, which in turn draws inspiration from Paul Dukas’ 1897 symphonic poem and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1797 ballad. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, and Monica Bellucci. The narrative follows Balthazar Blake, a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan, who recruits a physics student named Dave Stutler to help prevent the resurrection of a powerful dark sorceress.
Plot
In 740 AD, in England, the wizard Merlin has three apprentices: Balthazar Blake, Veronica Gorloisen, and Maxim Horvath. Horvath betrays Merlin by aligning with the evil sorceress Morgana le Fay, who seeks to cast a powerful spell called "The Rising" to resurrect dead sorcerers and enslave humanity. Merlin is mortally wounded, and Veronica absorbs Morgana’s soul to stop her. To prevent Morgana’s return, Balthazar traps both her and Veronica inside a magical nesting doll known as the Grimhold. Before dying, Merlin entrusts Balthazar with a dragon-shaped ring that will identify the "Prime Merlinian"—his destined successor capable of defeating Morgana. Balthazar spends centuries capturing Morganians—sorcerers loyal to Morgana—and imprisoning them within the Grimhold, including Horvath.
In 2000, ten-year-old Dave Stutler encounters Balthazar in a Manhattan antique shop. When Dave tries on the dragon ring, it chooses him, revealing him to be the Prime Merlinian. Dave accidentally opens the Grimhold, releasing Horvath. In the ensuing struggle, Balthazar and Horvath are trapped inside a magical urn for ten years.
A decade later, Dave is a physics student at New York University. The curse ends, releasing both sorcerers.
