The film follows the story of the Pevensie siblings—Peter (played by William Moseley), Susan (played by Anna Popplewell), Edmund (played by Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (played by Georgie Henley)—who are evacuated from London during World War II and sent to live with the eccentric Professor Digory Kirke (played by Jim Broadbent) in his countryside mansion.
While exploring the mansion, Lucy discovers a magical wardrobe that serves as a portal to the fantastical land of Narnia. She ventures into the wardrobe and meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus (played by James McAvoy), who informs her that Narnia is under the rule of the White Witch (played by Tilda Swinton), who has plunged the land into eternal winter and darkness.
Lucy returns to the real world and tries to convince her siblings of her discovery, but they initially dismiss her claims as mere imagination. However, Edmund eventually stumbles into Narnia himself and falls under the spell of the White Witch, who seduces him with promises of power and authority.
Meanwhile, the true ruler of Narnia, the noble lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson), has returned to the land and begins to rally the forces of good against the White Witch’s tyranny. Aslan is aided by the Pevensie siblings, who are prophesied to fulfill an ancient prophecy and help bring about the downfall of the White Witch.
In the climactic battle between good and evil, Aslan and his allies face off against the forces of the White Witch, culminating in a dramatic showdown at the Stone Table. Aslan sacrifices himself to save Edmund, but is later resurrected by the power of the Deep Magic.
With Aslan’s return, the tide of battle turns in favor of the forces of good. The White Witch is defeated, and Narnia is liberated from her icy grip. Aslan crowns the Pevensie siblings as the new kings and queens of Narnia, fulfilling the prophecy and restoring peace and prosperity to the land.
The film ends with the Pevensie siblings ruling over Narnia as its rightful monarchs, while Aslan watches over them from afar, ensuring that the land remains safe and free from tyranny.
