Quotes [last lines] Tamina : How can I trust the man who breached the walls of my city? User reviews Review. Top review. Prince of persia. Having never played the game I didn't know much about what the plot was about but the games were big hits and popular enough to make a live action movie so I eventually gave it a watch and was very surprised, The story is very loyal to the games from what I seen in the games, Some nice action scenes and good effects, I didn't like the choice of actors but they did ok, As far as game to movies go it's probably one of the better ones, Even if it won't stand the test of time No pun intended I think maybe it could of been better if it wasn't made by Disney as they like to tone films down so much that if you're over the age of 11 it's not as enjoyable, But it could of been much worse so I can't complain too much, A good family film that is easy to watch even if you haven't played any of the games.

FAQ 3. Who is Tamina? Is Nizam the Vizier? On the first night, Tamina attempts to kill Dastan and recover the Dagger, but he accidentally activates the handle, learns of the power, and stops her attack. Dastan believes Tus knew about the Dagger and framed him for murder, to seize the throne and Dagger, becoming the most powerful ruler of Persia.

In a skeleton-decorated village, the duo encounter ostrich racer-organizer Sheik Amar Alfred Molina and loyal friend Seso Steve Toussaint from the Ngbaka , masters of throwing knives. Dastan offers Tamina as a slave in return for travel supplies and safe passage. One bandit grabs the Dagger of Time as a pretty trinket. Amar ties Dastan down for the large reward. When Tamina chases the Dagger, both escape in the confusion.

Dastan wants to return for King Sharaman's funeral, and Tamina tags along. Attempting to convince Nizam of his innocence, he presents the wrapped Dagger as proof, but Tamina got the Dagger away. Seeing the burns on Nizam's hands, Dastan realizes Nizam did not touch the cloak in his presence but previously, thus the murderer.

Resisting an ambush with acrobatics and clashing swords, even axe-throwing Garsiv, Dastan escapes. Dastan catches up with Tamina and explains that Nizam masterminded the attack on her city to get the Dagger. She explains a massive Sandglass holding all the Sands of Time is hidden underneath. A pure-hearted girl offered her life so angry gods would not to punish sinful humanity and seal the Sands in the Sandglass. Breaking the Sandglass, releasing all the Sands, would destroy the world.

Dastan remembers his father's favorite story, his brother's rescue from a lion while hunting. To allow the death in childhood would prevent all the Princes from being born, and make Nizam King of Persia for his entire life.

Dastan agrees to help her protect the Dagger. Meanhile, back in Persia, Nizam, aware that Dastan knows he was responsible, tries to convince the newly-crowned King Tus and Garsiv that Dastan is trying to overthrow them and must be killed without a trial to avoid a rebellion. When this fails, Nizam sends his secret magical snake-equipped Hassansins , elite warriors forbidden by Sharaman.

Amar, angry at the 2-day riot that destroyed his track and left one "suicidal" ostrich, again captures our heroes. When everyone is asleep, the Hassansin leader recognizable by his dead eyes, attacks in an oasis] with vipers. Many die, but Dastan uses the dagger to rewind time, kills all the snakes single-handedly, saving Seso and winning his gratitude, the same servitude that indentures him to Amar. The Hassansins leave as they arrived, in whirling sand dervishes.

Next day, the now friendly group, encouraged by Tamina's tales of temple gold, follow paths "every princess must learn" to the mountain sanctuary, where the Dagger can be safely sealed in the stone where it came from.

Tamina, as an official Guardian, intends to fulfill the original girl's sacrifice, but Garsiv attacks. Dastan persuades his brother of his innocence, but Hassassin spikes take Garsiv down, and their Leaders trained snake swallows the Dagger. The Dagger is guarded in a temple by a Hassansin, so Seso is the natural choice of opponent, but is fatally wounded in combat. Before succumbing to a chest full of spikes, Seso throws the Dagger out the window to Amar. He distracts the guards while Dastan kills himself to prove the Dagger's power and his truth to Tus.

Tus rewinds time to revive Dastan, but Nizam then slices his throat, and leaves with the Dagger. Tamina distracts the guard on Dastan, and sees the hand mark for a Temple official. The dead guard was the traitor who told Nizam about the Dagger. Nizam descends by pulley to the Sandglass caves beneath Alamut, while Dastan and Tamina race through secret underground passageways, booby-trapped. Dastan follows carefully in her footsteps, but a stray pebble falls from the roof, and the floor collapses.

Dastan battles the Hassansin Leader, finally throwing him into the chasm. Dastan and Tamina slowly kiss. They reach Nizam at the Sandglass stabbing in the Dagger. Tamina lets go of Dastan's hand, falls into the bottomless pit, so Dastan can hold onto the Dagger with Nizam.

When Dastan presses the handle end as the Sandglass breaks and tries send out the Sands, everything whirls back to when Dastan first found the Dagger in the Alamut seige.

Dastan sees his best friend Bis alive again, uses his knowledge of the lost time to expose Nizam. Dastan gains his brothers' trust by repeating the exact words of Sharaman in private to Tus, as told to Dastan in the Lost Time where Tus was killed by Nazim.

Exposed, Nizam stabs at Tus, but Dastan gets the villain first. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina should marry Dastan as a sign of good will.

The Prince gives her with the Dagger, gazing with knowing love, stumbling over his words, hinting they have a past and a destiny. She invites him to walk, asking how he has changed so suddenly. As in the Lost Time before, Dastan repeats "We make our own destiny", adding "We hardly know each other well enough, though I look forward to the day that we do".

Under John August as executive producer, the series' creator Jordan Mechner was hired to write the script. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer's Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was converted into a film franchise. According to Mechner, "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story.

Early in , Disney announced Prince of Persia as one of its tentpole film and by June had scheduled a release date for July 10, , before having a final script or any actors attached. His assistant played the video games and gave the director key details. The screenwriter left out elements of the Prince of Persia video games Warrior Within and The Two Thrones and did not anticipate including these elements in the film's possible sequels.

When filming began, the film's release date was postponed to May 28, , with the studio seeking enough time for the post-production process in designing the film's special effects.

The profit margin on the Pirates of the Caribbean films was compromised by overspending as special effects teams rushed to complete the films for their release dates. On May 20, , it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal would portray Dastan, the protagonist of the film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explained his choice, "He's a wonderful actor.

He's someone I've been watching for a long time and somebody I've always wanted to work with. The actor says, "…I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I'd be hopefully able to do anything. Production was scheduled to begin in mid-June Disney's marketing strategy included a step by step release of the film. The film was not released in the United States until May 28 to try to profit from the potentially higher audience on Memorial Day weekend.

The Sands of Time poster made its debut as a background prop in a Bruckheimer production, Confessions of a Shopaholic , similar to how Warner Bros.
