Free Advance screening! This stunning live-action remake of the beloved animated adventure centers around the unlikely friendship between a viking and a dragon.
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames, The Black Phone) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), 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 (Nico Parker, The Last of Us) and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup must find his voice as a leader in the face of a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. Directed by Dean DeBlois (who also helmed the original animated trilogy) and produced by Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) this live-action remake promises an exhilarating story of unlikely friendship that will thrill the whole family.
