Prince of Persia Sands of Time
In theaters Friday, June 19th 2009
Passing through India en route to Azad, King Sharaman and his son,
the Prince of Persia, defeat the powerful Maharajah of India with the
promise of honor and glory. After looting the city and capturing a
giant hourglass full of sand, a mysterious dagger, and the Maharajah's
daughter Farah along with other treasures, they continue to Azad. A
dying Vizier, who had betrayed the Maharajah and aided King Sharaman in
return for a share of the spoils, demands to have the dagger, as he was
promised his choice of the Maharajah's treasures. But Sharaman refuses
to take the dagger from his son, who captured it first.
So the Vizier, who wishes to harness the power of the sands in the
hourglass for himself, making him an immortal god and giving him
control over time itself, tricks the Prince into opening the hourglass.
When the Prince uses the dagger to unleash the Sands of Time from the
hourglass, the Sands destroy the kingdom and turn all living beings
into hideous sand creatures. Only the Prince, the Vizier, and Princess
Farah, the kidnapped daughter of the Maharajah, remain unchanged due to
their possessions; the Prince's dagger, the Vizier's staff, and Farah's
medallion.
