Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day
Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath
(Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave
Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden
potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling
accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together,
these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take
all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city
and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
