The story begins with Aladdin (Mena Massoud) and Jasmine ruling Agrabah together, striving to bring peace and prosperity. However, a new threat emerges when General Rakhim, a powerful warlord from a neighboring kingdom, seeks to conquer Agrabah using a mysterious ancient artifact. The Genie, now free but still loyal to his friends, senses the artifact’s dark magic and warns Aladdin and Jasmine.
As Rakhim’s forces approach, Aladdin and Jasmine must unite their people and seek allies. Jasmine’s leadership is tested as she negotiates with rival factions, while Aladdin embarks on a quest to find a way to neutralize the artifact’s power. Along the way, Genie provides comic relief and magical assistance, but his powers are limited outside the lamp.
The climax sees a massive battle at the gates of Agrabah. Rakhim uses the artifact to summon a sandstorm, but Aladdin, with Jasmine’s help, manages to outwit him and destroy the artifact, breaking its hold over Rakhim. In the end, Rakhim is redeemed, and Agrabah enters a new era of peace.
