It follows the story of Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), an average college student who discovers he’s destined for more when he’s chosen as the apprentice to Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), a powerful sorcerer. Balthazar is one of the last surviving disciples of the legendary wizard Merlin, tasked with protecting humanity from dark forces, including his old rival, the sinister sorcerer Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina).
Balthazar begins training Dave to unlock his magical potential and prepare him to battle the forces of evil. However, as Dave learns about magic and his role in an ancient prophecy, he struggles to balance his new responsibilities with his normal life, including his feelings for Becky (Teresa Palmer), a girl he’s long admired. As Horvath seeks to unleash the evil sorceress Morgana, who threatens to destroy the world, Dave must step up to his destiny and become a true sorcerer. With a mix of action, humor, and magical battles, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice delivers an exciting tale of heroism and the power of self-discovery.
