Featuring the character Sinbad the Sailor, it was directed by Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore, written by John Logan, and stars the voices of Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joseph Fiennes, and Dennis Haysbert. It tells the story of Sinbad (voiced by Pitt), a pirate who travels the sea with his dog and his loyal crew, alongside Marina (voiced by Zeta-Jones), the fiancée of his childhood friend Prince Proteus (voiced by Fiennes), to recover the stolen Book of Peace from Eris (voiced by Pfeiffer) to save Proteus from approving Sinbad's death sentence.
Plot
Sinbad and his pirate crew attempt to steal the magical Book of Peace, which is en route to Syracuse, and hold it for ransom as one last job before retiring to Fiji. Sinbad is surprised to see it is being protected by his childhood best friend, Prince Proteus of Syracuse. Sinbad tries to steal the Book anyway, but his attempt is foiled when Cetus attacks the ship. Sinbad and Proteus work together to fight off Cetus and for a moment reaffirm their bond. Though the beast is defeated, Sinbad is dragged off the ship and into the sea.
