The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a 2008 American fantasy adventure directed by Andrew Adamson, the sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The four Pevensie siblings return to Narnia to discover that 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time, and the magical land is now ruled by the Telmarines, who have driven the native Narnians into hiding. Young Prince Caspian, played by Ben Barnes, has fled his uncle's murderous court and blown Susan's horn to summon the legendary Kings and Queens of Old for help in reclaiming the kingdom.

Prince Caspian took a darker, more action-oriented approach than its predecessor, featuring large-scale battle sequences including a night raid on the Telmarine castle that went catastrophically wrong. The film earned $419 million worldwide on a $225 million budget, considered disappointing. Ben Barnes brought earnest charisma to Prince Caspian, and the expanded battle sequences demonstrated the franchise's growth in scale and ambition from the first installment.
