The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American action-fantasy film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed over $215 million worldwide. This fantasy action-adventure, inspired to some degree by Disney’s classic Fantasia. It is targeted at the same audience who enjoyed star Nicolas Cage’s National Treasure movies.


 

Its story goes as follows Millennia ago, Morgana attempted to throw Merlin who managed to fend her off by sending her and the traitor Maxim Horvath to a prison called a grimhold. Sadly for the sorcerer Balthazar his magically gifted beloved Veronica is trapped there too. The goal in The Sorcerer's Apprentice is to find Merlin’s descendant who’s the only one who can defeat Morgana and her army forever. Balthazar thinks he may have found him once, in the form of an elementary school boy named Dave. But it’s not until Dave is in college studying to be a physicist that he’s able to finally take on his mission.

Overall it is a nice movie and is fun to watch. This movie was released on july 14, 2010. It is liked by 75% of the google users on google and is still liked by many people as they watch it now. I recommend this movie to add to your watch list.
