The Pevensie kids–Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)–are transported from war-torn 1940s' London back to Narnia and discover that 1,300 years have passed since they were last there. The Golden Age is long gone, and the tyrannical King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto) sits on the throne. He is determined to replace his nephew Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) with his own baby son as the rightful heir. The Pevensie kids come to Caspian's aid with help from Trumpkin the Red Dwarf (Peter Dinklage), a valiant mouse Reepicheep (Eddie Izzard), and other colorful creatures. First, a "mano a mano" contest between Miraz and Peter takes place, but that doesn't solve the problems. Finally, a raging battle between the two armies appears to be the only way to restore the magic that was Narnia.
