The plot follows Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), a street urchin in the Persian Empire in the sixth century. After showing courage in the market place, he is adopted by the king. He grows up as part of the royal family with "no royal blood and no eye for the throne." Dastan leads a attack to a city ruled by a princess who is said to be a jewel. He manages to open the main gate and prevents further casualties from both sides. Later on, he teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to stop a common enemy - the villainous nobleman Nizam (Ben Kingsley) - and to take from him an ancient dagger known as "The Dagger of Time" (a valuable dagger which gives to its owner the ability to go back in time for short periods and change the past) and keep him from generating a sandstorm which could destroy the world.
