The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 Us fantasy adventure film produced by Jerry
Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, but also released by Walt Disney
Pictures, the c's behind the National Treasure franchise. The film stars Nicolas
Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, Monica Bellucci. The film is
named after usually the The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment in Disney's Fantasia
(with one scene being an intensive reference to it), which in just turn is based
on the late-1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and all of the 1797 Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe ballad. Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), a "Merlinian", is a
sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan, fighting against the forces of evil, in
particular his nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina), while searching for the
one that will eventually inherit Merlin's powers ("The Prime Merlinean"). This
turns out to become Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a physics student, whom
Balthazar takes as virtually any reluctant protg. The sorcerer gives your man's
unwilling apprentice a crash course an art of science, magic, and sorcery, in
order to stop Horvath and so Morgana le Fay (Alice Krige) ranging from raising
the souls of the satanic dead sorcerers ("Morganians") and destroying the earth
