Encyclopedic overview
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a 2010 American fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and starring Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel. Cage plays a sorcerer who recruits a physics student, portrayed by Baruchel, as his apprentice. The film is set primarily in New York City and follows the apprentice's involvement in a conflict between rival sorcerers. It is 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. Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer, and Monica Bellucci star in supporting roles.
Production companies Walt Disney Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Saturn Films, and Broken Road Productions created the film. 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.
