The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American action adventure

fantasy film directed by Jon Turteltaub, from a screenplay by Matt Lopez and the writing team of Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard, and a screen story by Lopez, Lawrence Konner, and Mark Rosenthal. The film stars Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake, a sorcerer who is tasked with training Dave Sutler, played by Jay Baruchel, the heir of Merlin and the only one with the power to stop an evil sorceress from rising again. Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, and Monica Bellucci star in supporting roles.

The film is produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Saturn Films, and Broken Road Productions. The story is adapted from a segment in the 1940 Disney film Fantasia, entitled "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", featuring 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, itself derived from the 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice made its premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 8, 2010, and was theatrically released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in the United States on July 14. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing only $215 million against a $150 million budget.
