In modern day Manhattan, the master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Cage) attempts to protect the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Molina), an evil wizard with nefarious plans.

Horvath is determined to claim New York City for his own evil purposes, and enlists an illusionist (Kebbell) to help him toward that end. Given the formidable forces working against him, Blake does not feel that he can accomplish this mission alone.

To help in his venture, he seeks out a seemingly average guy, Dave Stutler (Baruchel), who is recruited to be Blake's apprentice. Stutler is initially skeptical, and reluctant to get involved, but eventually is convinced by Blake to help in this cause.

Blake gives Stutler a crash course in magic, and mishaps invariably ensue. There is also a love interest in peril angle to the storyline that provides additional motivation for Stutler.

Together, Blake and Stutler take on Horvath in a classic good versus evil struggle.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is released 13th August.

But, without a shadow of a doubt, it's Sylvester Stallone's return to the big screen this summer that looks set to be explosive.

A group of mercenaries is hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator.

Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal.

With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge... one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.
