The Plot: A Timeless Tale of Friendship and Courage
On the windswept isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been locked in a generations-long conflict, young Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (played by Mason Thames) is unlike his peers. As the inventive but underestimated son of Chief Stoick the Vast (reprised by Gerard Butler), Hiccup breaks tradition by befriending a Night Fury dragon, Toothless.
Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons and challenges the deep-seated fear and prejudice of Viking society. With the brave and determined Astrid Hofferson (played by Nico Parker) and the quirky blacksmith Gobber (portrayed by Nick Frost) by his side, Hiccup must navigate a path toward peace. Along the way, an ancient threat arises, endangering both dragons and Vikings alike, testing Hiccup’s courage and leadership.
