A major part of the film's appeal is its exceptional cast, which perfectly balances dramatic gravitas with comedic timing.
The story begins in 740 A.D., where the legendary wizard Merlin has three apprentices: Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), Veronica (Monica Bellucci), and the ambitious Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). When the evil sorceress Morgana le Fay kills Merlin, Horvath betrays his master and sides with her. To stop Morgana, Balthazar and Veronica perform a desperate spell that imprisons them, Horvath, and Morgana's spirit inside a magical nesting doll called a Grimhold . For centuries, Balthazar, now a master sorcerer himself, searches for a way to destroy Morgana and find the Prime Merlinian —a person born with the innate potential to wield Merlin's ultimate power. the sorcerers apprentice 2010 dual audio hi better
