In modern-day Manhattan, one young man's life is about to take a surprising turn. When ten-year-old Dave Stutler wanders into a strange and mysterious shop downtown, his life takes an unimaginable twist. It turns out that Dave is no ordinary boy--he is a Merlinian. As a descendent of the most famous sorcerer in history, Dave has untapped powers. The problem is, certain people don't want him to ever use them. Ten years later, still unaware of his powers, Dave is a college student more interested in science than science fiction. But that is all about to change. An evil sorcerer named Horvath has been released into the real world and he is out to destroy Dave and all the goodness he represents. Now Dave must embrace his role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice and rely on the help of his mentor, Balthazar Blake, to save the world. Loosely inspired by the classic scene in Fantasia.
