From the visionary filmmakerDean DeBlois, a three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner, comes a breathtaking live-action reimagining of the beloved DreamWorks Animation classic, How to Train Your Dragon. This stunning adaptation breathes new life into the story that launched a worldwide phenomenon.
Set on the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been adversaries for generations, the inventive yet underestimated Hiccup (portrayed by Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) challenges this ancient animosity. As the son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his acclaimed voice role), Hiccup defies tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unexpected alliance shifts perceptions, revealing the true nature of dragons and challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
Alongside the fierce and determined Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us), and the eccentric blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead), Hiccup faces a society gripped by fear and misunderstanding.
As a new, ancient threat looms, endangering both Vikings and dragons alike, Hiccup and Toothless must forge a path to peace, transcending the boundaries of their worlds. Together, they redefine heroism and leadership by embracing the power of friendship and courage.
The film also features an impressive ensemble cast including Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).
