FILM DESCRIPTION
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON comes to life like never before as Oscar(R) nominee Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind the acclaimed franchise, turns his beloved animated film into a stunning live-action spectacle. On the isle of Berk, Vikings and dragons have battled for generations, but that won't stop Hiccup (Mason Thames), the son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), from building an unlikely bond with the feared dragon, Toothless. With an ancient evil threatening their worlds, it's up to Hiccup, Toothless, and their courageous companion Astrid (Nico Parker) to make the realm realize they're stronger together, and only through friendship and bravery can they overcome the challenges of a high-flying adventure.
