Dastan dan Tamina kembali ke Parsi untuk menghadiri upacara pengebumian Raja Sharaman. Dastan cuba meyakinkan ayahanda saudaranya Nizam bahawa dia bukan punca kemangkatan ayahandanya, tetapi sedar bahawa pisau belati itu sempat dilarikan oleh Tamina. Sebaliknya, Dastan perasan tangan-tangan Nizam luka terbakar, jangan-jangan Nizam inilah yang melakukan pembunuhan Raja. Lebih-lebih lagi, Nizam telah merancangkan serang hendap terhadap Dastan sepanjang jalan-jalanan Parsi. Selepas bertempur dengan adindanya Garsiv, Dastan sekali lagi melarikan diri.
Dastan and Tamina return to Persia for King Sharaman's funeral. Dastan tries to convince his uncle Nizam that he was not the cause of his father's death, only to discover the dagger was taken by Tamina. Instead, he notices the burns on Nizam's hands, which indicate he was the one who set up the murder of the King. Furthermore, Nizam has set up an ambush for Dastan along the Persian streets, and after a conflict with his brother Garsiv, Dastan escapes.

Manakala di Parsi, Nizam yang menyedari Dastan tahu pendalangannya, cuba memujuk Raja Tus dan Garsiv bahawa Dastan hendak menggulingkan baginda dan harus dihukum mati tanpa perbicaraan untuk mengelakkan pemberontakan, tetapi gagal. Maka, terpaksalah Nizam mengupah segerombolan pahlawan berkemahiran tinggi bergelar "Hassansin" yang pernah berkhidmat sebagai pembunuh upahan kerabat diraja Parsi. Selama ini, Nizam menyembunyikan kumpulan ini untuk kepentingan diri setelah dibubarkan oleh Sharaman.
Meanwhile, back in Persia, Nizam, aware that Dastan knows he was responsible, tries to convince the newly-crowned King Tus and Garsiv that Dastan is trying to overthrow them and must be killed without a trial to avoid a rebellion. When this fails, Nizam hires the [[Hashshashin|Hassansins]], a group of highly-skilled warriors who once served as hired killers for Persian royalty. Nizam had kept the sect hidden for his own ends after Sharaman had them disbanded.

The Hassansin leader then leaves in a sand dervish.
Pada hari berikutnya, dengan ditemani Sheik dan Seso, Dastan dan Tamina berjalan ke kawasan perlindungan rahsia di pergunungan dekat India, di mana pisau sakti itu boleh dikedap dengan mengembalikannya kepada batu asalnya. Untuk melakukannya, Tamina terpaksa mengorbankan diri, tetapi cubaan mereka diganggu oleh orang suruhan Garsiv. Namun demikian, Dastan berjaya meyakinkan adindanya bahawa dirinya tidak bersalah, tetapi Garsiv kemudian ditikam oleh lontaran pisau pancang bertubi-tubi oleh Hassansin. Sambil serangan Hassansin meragut ramai ahli kumpulan penyamun itu, ketua mereka berjaya merampas Dagger of Time dari Tamina (yang dijatuhkan dalam pertempuran) dengan bantuan ular terlatih. Bagaimanapun, Dastan diselamatkan dari serangan Hassansin terakhir oleh Garsiv yang kemudian mati akibat kecederaannya.
The next day, the pair, now accompanied by Sheik and Seso, travel to the secret sanctuary in the mountains near India, where it's possible to seal the dagger by returning it to the stone where it came from. In order to do so, Tamina would have to sacrifice herself, but it fails as they run into Garsiv's men. Dastan, however, manages to persuade his brother that he is innocent, only for Garsiv to be killed by a flurry of spike-knives thrown by a Hassansin. The Hassanin attack, killing many of the group, while their leader manages to snatch the Dagger of Time from Tamina (who was knocked unconscious in the battle) by using a trained snake. However, Dastan is saved from the last Hassansin by Garsiv, who then succumbs to his injuries.

During theDalam finalpertempuran confrontationkemuncak, Nizam knocks Tamina over the edge of the chasm and Dastan desperately catches her hand. Knowing he cannot stop Nizam and save her, Tamina professes her love for Dastan and lets go, sacrificing herself so Dastan can stop Nizam. Dastan fights Nizam as they both hold their hands on the Dagger. Dastan then uses the Dagger's button to open the Sands of Time container and use its power against Nizam. The Sandglass slowly cracks and the sandstorm is shown destroying Alamut. Dastan is then able to use the Dagger and turn back the time as the Sandglass breaks, ending up at the point when he first held the Dagger during the siege of Alamut.
Dastan uses his knowledge to reveal Nizam's evil plan to his brothers, gaining their acceptance by revealing what Tus told him about the meeting with their father prior to the attack. Exposed, Nizam attempts to kill Dastan, but ends up stabbed and killed by Tus, using his blade. After apologizing for the ransacking of her city, Tus suggests that perhaps Tamina should become Dastan's wife as a sign of good will. The Prince returns the Dagger of Time to her as a gift, as she looks at him surprised. The two of them are next shown talking to each other and Tamina expressing her surprise about Dastan's sudden change in behavior and hinting that he may have discovered something to which he replies that they are in control of their own destiny.

==Production==
In March 2004, the production company Jerry Bruckheimer Films sought to acquire feature film rights to the 2003 video game ''[[Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time]]'' with the film to be distributed by [[Walt Disney Pictures]]. Under [[John August]] as executive producer, the series' creator [[Jordan Mechner]] was hired to write the script. Producer [[Jerry Bruckheimer]]'s ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean (film series)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was converted into a film franchise. According to Mechner, "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story."<ref>{{cite journal | first=Jonathan | last=Bing | coauthors=Cathy Dunkley | url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117901177.html?categoryid=1238&cs=1&s=h&p=0 | title=Jerry preps game plan for 'Sands' | journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | publisher=[[Reed Business Information]] | date=March 3, 2004 | accessdate=July 14, 2008 }}</ref> Mechner previously considered producing an animated film based on the games, but could not resist Disney and Bruckheimer's offer.<ref name=trickster>{{cite news | first=Jim | last=Vejvoda | url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/893/893812p1.html | title=SDCC 08: Mechner Talks Persia Movie | work=[[IGN]] | publisher=[[News Corporation]] | date=July 25, 2008 | accessdate=August 6, 2008 }}</ref> In February 2006, Disney hired screenwriter [[Jeffrey Nachmanoff]] to write a new script for ''Prince of Persia''.<ref>{{Cite journal | first=Chris | last=Gardner | url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117938892.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 | title=Scribe goes into action for Disney | journal=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | publisher=[[Reed Business Information]] | date=February 26, 2006 | accessdate=July 14, 2008 }}</ref>
The name "Alamut" refers to the [[Alamut]] fortress, and the name "Hassansins" refers to the [[Hashshashin]] sect of Islam (Shia), led by [[Hassan-i Sabbah]]. They practice a dark magic form of mysticism, and with the aid of "Nizam", plan the demise of the Persian Royal family, in the film. "Nizam" refers to [[Nizam al-Mulk]], grand vizier of [[Malik-Shah I]], King of the Seljuq Turks (the last Persian empire dynasty had fallen after the Islamic conquests), who like in the movie, was also murdered. The snakes in the robe of the Hassansin leader in the film also have a Shahnameh precedence in the mythical [[Zahak]] from whose shoulders serpents were said to have grown.
