Outline
The wicked sorceress Morgana (Kelly LeBrock) plans to rule the world, but for fourteen hundred years all her efforts have failed. Once in every century, she tries to recover Fingalls magic staff and unite it with a magic stone in the possession of the wizard Merlin, a combination of devastating power. Merlin, now an elderly man living under the name of Milner (Robert Davi), still has the stone.Barbara Tepa Lupack, 'Adapting the Arthurian Legends for Children: Essays on Arthurian Juvenilia' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2004), [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FTfIAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA273 p. 273][http://www.phase9.tv/movie-reviews/sorcerersapprentice.shtml 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'], phase9.tv, accessed 3 July 2022
Milner befriends a neighbour, a fourteen-year old boy called Ben Clark (Byron Taylor), who has recently migrated from South Africa, and sees that he has the same scar as a bearer of Fingalls staff that he had known in the 6th century. Ben is fascinated by magic, and Milner begins to teach him to be a magician. The staff of Fingall is now on display in a museum of which Bens father (Greg Melvill-Smith) is the curator. As Morgana enters the story, Ben has to make his own choice between good and evil.
