Ten years after "The Phantom Menace" left off, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and student Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) investigate an attempt on the life of young senator Amidala (Natalie Portman). Their search leads them to a link between the assassination plot and a plan to create a massive army of clones that could throw the Galactic Republic into civil war. Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits, and Ian McDiarmid also star.
