Summary: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia when summoned for help by a Telmarine prince, Caspian. Narnians work together to fight for their existence against the Telmarine leader, Miraz. For years, the talking animals and beast were banished by the Telmarines and forced to live underground and unseen by humans. Narnians with the leadership of Prince Caspian and the Pevensie fight against Miraz soldier but they were too great in number. At some point they were too desperate to get some help to defeat Miraz and his army that they almost brought the White Witch to life but with Edmund's courage, he stopped that from happening by breaking the ice wall.

Finally, Peter challenges Miraz on a one-man-fight. Mirz is defeated but his army still attacked the Narnians. Meanwhile, Susan and Lucy went to search Aslan for help. Aslan helped as well as the Talking trees defeating the Telmarine armies.

Aslan gave a chance for some Telmarines to go back to their ancestral home by crossing to the other side of the tree. For the ones who want to start a new life, they choose to cross while others remain and live in harmony with the Narnians with Prince Caspian as their new ruler. The Pevensies also crossed the to the other side of the tree, returning to the railway station, in England, where all the adventure began.

Comparison to novel: The Castle attack was added to the movie to make it interesting. It did not happen in the book.
