Despite his doubts as to whether they should attack a sacred city and his orders to avoid the front-line of the fighting, Dastan leads a surprise attack that succeeds in allowing the Persian army to breach the walls of Alamut. Fifteen years later, Dastan, his royal-blooded foster brothers, Tus ( Richard Coyle) and Garsiv ( Toby Kebbell), and his uncle, Nizam ( Ben Kingsley) are planning an attack on the sacred city of Alamut, which is believed to be selling weapons to Persia’s enemies.


Dastan, an orphan in the Persian Empire, performs an act of courage in a public market place and is adopted by the king because of it.
