If we were to compare this movie to any other movie on this list, it would be Assassin’s Creed. However, we are not suggesting they follow the same storyline but they do have a similar vibe.

Tus (Richard Coyle), one of Dastans brothers, accuses him of killing their father.
Dastan quickly escapes and is now on the run. Soon after, Dastan figures out that the dagger gives the wielder the power to access the Sands of Time which is located in Alamut.
