The film is a classic fantasy adventure focused on a hero's quest to prevent a villain from abusing a magical artifact to rewrite history and usurp power. Its core themes of justice, individual heroism, and the preservation of an established (though threatened) order are largely apolitical, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie primarily features traditional casting, with lead roles set in ancient Persia played by white actors. Its narrative is a conventional adventure story that does not critique traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
The lead characters, including Dastan and Tamina, are canonically Persian in the source video game. They are portrayed by white actors (Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton), which constitutes a race swap.
The film "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and adventure, with no elements that could be interpreted as affirming, problematic, or incidental to queer identity.
The film features Princess Tamina as the primary female character. While she is present in action sequences and occasionally uses a dagger, she is not depicted as physically defeating one or more male opponents in close-quarters combat through skill or strength.
The film adapts characters from the video game source material. All major characters, including the Prince, Princess Tamina (an adaptation of Farah), and the Vizier, maintain their original established genders from the game.
