Set in the mystical lands of Persia, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is an epic action-adventure starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a rogue prince who, along with a mysterious princess, Gemma Arterton, race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time also stars Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina. The film hits U.S. theaters May 28, 2010.

Jerry Bruckheimer first made his way to Hollywood via advertising when, as an award-winning commercial producer, one of his spots was noted for its brilliance in Time magazine. Four years later he went on to produce such memorable films as: Farewell, My Lovely, American Gigolo and Flashdance. The release of Flashdance would change Bruckheimer’s life, grossing $92 million in the U.S. alone and pairing him with Don Simpson, who would be his producing partner for the next 13 years.

His upcoming films include Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. In addition to his outstanding success on the big screen, Jerry Bruckheimer Television has seen amazing success with television audiences. Bruckheimer has brought us such hits as “C.S.I,” “C.S.I.: Miami,” “C.S.I.: NY,” “Without A Trace,” “Cold Case” and the award-winning “The Amazing Race.” Over the course of his career, Bruckheimer’s films and television work has earned six Academy Awards, five GRAMMY Awards, four Golden Globes, 18 Emmys, 15 People’s Choice Awards, and two BAFTA Awards, among numerous other accolades.
