Plot Summary

The film follows the charismatic and daring Sinbad, a pirate known for his charm and roguish behavior. He embarks on a mission to steal the Book of Peace, a powerful artifact that maintains harmony in the world, from the hands of the goddess Eris, who plans to use it to spread chaos. In his quest, Sinbad is betrayed by his childhood friend, Proteus, who is framed for the theft and sentenced to death. Sinbad, faced with a moral dilemma, is given an ultimatum: retrieve the Book of Peace and save Proteus, or watch his friend die.
