The Story
We meet our hero Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) as he’s being hustled out of a castle. His uncle, Miraz (Sergio Castellitto), and aunt have just become parents of a strapping baby boy, and so having Caspian around standing in the way of their own son’s ascension to the throne won’t do at all. Miraz is evil to his very core and willing to kill his own nephew in order to make sure he, and eventually his son, will be king.
Prince Caspian narrowly escapes being murdered by Miraz’ henchmen and is pursued through the forest where he runs into creatures he believed were long extinct. Two dwarves (played by Peter Dinklage and Warwick Davis) surprise the young prince and he, being in such a perilous situation, decides it’s time to blow the horn to summon the Kings and Queens of Narnia – Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie.
Of the four Pevensie siblings, it’s William who’s had the hardest time adjusting to being just a plain, ordinary school student back in England. After fighting fantastical creatures and being crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia, going through the daily grind of school work is a major letdown. So when the horn sounds, it’s enthusiastically back to Narnia they go.

The world they return to is in shambles, with the Telmarines having destroyed the Narnians way of life. The Narnians are now living in fear, hiding their existence from the conquering Telmarine army.
Reluctantly accepting Prince Caspian as an ally, the Pevensie siblings - with the help of a 2-foot tall mouse, a badger with a lot of spunk, and Nikabrik the dwarf - lead the Narnians into war against Miraz’ Telmarine troops with the future of Narnia at stake.
