the film is named after a segment in disney's 1940 film "fantasia" called "the sorcerer's apprentice" starring mickey mouse (with one scene being an extensive reference to it), which in turn is based on the late-1890s symphonic poem by paul dukas and the 1797 johann wolfgang von goethe ballad. balthazar blake (nicolas cage), a "merlinean", 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 person who will eventually inherit merlin's powers ("the prime merlinean"). this turns out to be dave stutler (jay baruchel), a physics student, whom balthazar takes as a reluctant protégé. the sorcerer gives his unwilling apprentice a crash course in the art of science, magic, and sorcery, in order to stop horvath and morgana le fay (alice krige) from raising the souls of the evil dead sorcerers ("morganians") and destroying the world.
the sorcerer's apprentice (2010 film)
morgana abducts guinevere and imprisons her in the dark tower, where the evil sorceress begins to emotionally torture the queen against her friends. morgana succeeds in turning gwen against camelot, and gwen returns to the castle where she makes numerous attempts on arthur's life under morgana's orders. soon, morgana learns that emrys means to free gwen from her magical control and she attempts to stop arthur and merlin from cleansing gwen's spirit of morgana's evil. she attacks mordred and merlin with her magic; merlin manages to escape to arthur and gwen whilst morgana attempts to persuade mordred to join her cause, reminding mordred of how arthur would react if he found out mordred was a sorcerer. however mordred merely proclaims that arthur will one day come to accept magic and attempts to destroy morgana by reminding her of her once loving nature before blasting morgana unconscious. once gwen is returned to her normal self, morgana makes it her mission to hunt down emrys. she begins to build her saxon army, and uses her men to help her hunt down alator of the catha, who knows emrys' true identity. however it becomes clear to morgana that alator will not break under her torture, and she kills the high priest. morgana then leads a terrifying manhunt in pursuit of the druid finna, alator's friend who also knows of emrys's true identity. however finna kills herself to avoid breaking under morgana's torture, once again thwarting morgana's plans to find out who emrys truly is. it is morgana's fury of constantly being thwarted by emrys that fuels her to declare war on camelot. as an act of war, morgana orders her saxons to attack a supply wagon leading to camelot; amongst the captured saxons is kara, mordred's childhood lover. arthur is forced to execute kara as an enemy of camelot; it is this action which drives mordred against camelot and fuels him to join morgana. mordred allies himself with morgana by revealing to her the true identity of emrys: merlin. thus, the great dragon's prophecy of mordred and morgana 'uniting in evil' finally comes to pass.
