Epic fantasy television miniseries from the Sci Fi Channel, based on the
classic novels by Ursula Le Guin. In the archipelago of Earthsea, Ged
(Shawn Ashmore) is a young blacksmith's apprentice who possesses a rare
magical gift. After saving his village from raiding Karg warriors, Ged
is sent to the magical school on Roke island, where he can hone his
skills. Headstrong and reckless, in a magical duel with another pupil
Ged releases one of the Nameless Ones, ancient evil spirits that could
destroy the world. Chased across the islands of Earthsea by the dark
shadow he has released, Ged must find a way to destroy it by questioning
the dragons who live in the islands of the far west. His quest will
lead him to the secretive Tombs of Atuan, where Tenar (Kristin Kreuk), a
young priestess, finds her life entangled with bitter court disputes as
the ruthless King Tygath (Sebastian Roché) seeks to unleash the
Nameless Ones and use them to rule all of Earthsea. As Tenar and Ged
join forces to stop the Nameless Ones, they find the secret to an
ancient prophecy that could bring peace to their world.
