In 2010 Dreamworks unleashed the monster franchise How To Train Your Dragon that has since spawned two film sequels, numerous TV series and more. Now the dragons are flying back into the theaters with a live action adaptation of the original film aptly titled How To Train Your Dragon starring Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz, Murray McArthur and Gerard Butler reprising his role from the animated franchise and director of the animated trilogy Dean Deblois back in the directors chair.  

 

How To Train Your Dragon follows the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, but Hiccup stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
