Prince of Persia The Sands of Time Movie Story
After
witnessing an act of bravery in the marketplace of the royal city, the street
urchin Dastan is adopted by King Sharaman, becoming a prince of Persia. Years
later, the grown Dastan spearheads an attack on Alamut, which the king's
brother Nizam has accused of selling weapons to Persia's enemies. During the
battle, the city's princess Tamina is captured and Dastan acquires a strange
dagger. During a banquet, Dastan gives Sharaman a cloak as a gift and after he
declares Tamina Dastan's future wife the cloak apparently burns him to the
touch and kills him. Dastan is framed for murder but narrowly escapes from
Alamut with Tamina, evading the king's high-born sons Garsiv and Tus. After
being attacked by Tamina, Dastan finds that the sands within the dagger's hilt
allow him to rewind time by a minute and retain knowledge of what happened
before. While going to Avrat for Sharaman's funeral, the two encounter a shady
merchant called Sheik Amar, and Dastan encounters Nizam, who pretends to be
sympathetic to Dastan's plight. At their meeting, Dastan sees Nizam's hands
burned and realizes in horror that his uncle had murdered Sharaman. Dastan
escapes from an ambush with the princess, but Nizam secretly sets a group of
Hassansins, corrupted Persian warriors, on their tail, while Tus had sent the
angry Garsiv and some men to find Dastan.
As
they are on the run, Tamina tells Dastan about the dagger's origins: the gods
had decided to sweep mankind from the earth with a great sandstorm because of
their sin. But a young girl pleaded with the gods and convinced them to
withhold their wrath. The sands from the storms were stored in a great hollow
crystal called the Sandglass, with the dagger, called the Dagger of Time, being
the only thing that could break the crystal. The Sandglass was hidden beneath
Alamut with Tamina's family, descended from the young girl who saved mankind,
as its guardians. It is shown that Nizam orchestrated the siege of Alamut so he
could hunt for the Sandglass and use the sands to change an event in his youth
where he saved Sharaman from a lion, thereby ensuring Nizam would become king.
Seeing
that the sands’ release would destroy the world, Tamina is willing to return
the dagger to the place where it was given, giving her life in the process.
They reach the dagger's resting place in the Hindu Kush, after being captured
by Sheik Amar, but are ambushed by soldiers under the command of Garsiv. Dastan
manages to convince Garsiv of his innocence, but the Hassansins attack, take
the dagger from Tamina and kill Garsiv. Together with Sheik Amar, his Umbakan
guardian Seso and his retinue, Dastan and Tamina head back to Alamut. After
retaking the dagger from a Hassansin, who had promptly ended Seso's life,
Dastan uses it on himself in front of Tus, showing him the power of the dagger
and his own innocence. But Nizam arrives, kills Tus and takes the dagger,
leaving Dastan to die. Tamina saves him and they go down into the catacombs of
Alamut.
After
confronting and defeating Zolm, the Hassansin leader, Dastan and Tamina arrive
in the chamber of the Sandglass as Nizam stabs it, starting the release of the
sands. When they reach him, Nizam attacks them, and Tamina, who has grown to
love the prince, sacrifices herself to give Dastan his chance. Dastan manages
to remove the dagger from the Sandglass, preventing the apocalypse, then time
is rewound to just after the siege of Alamut, undoing all the events he has
lived through. Dastan manages to find his brothers and expose Nizam of his
treachery, who attacks Dastan in a rage and is soon killed by Tus.
As
an apology for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that Dastan and Tamina
are married as a goodwill pact. As they converse afterwords, Dastan hints at
his knowledge of the dagger’s power and says he looks forward to their future
together.
