Based on first adventure in the hugely popular animation and book franchise of the same name, this live-action reimagining introduces us to the isle of Berk, home to a ferocious Viking tribe who have spent the last few hundred years battling the dragons who live nearby. Hiccup, an inventive young Viking and son of Stoick, Berk's short-tempered chieftain, is desperate to become a warrior like his father. However, after unexpectedly capturing a fearsome dragon known to the tribe as ‘the Night Fury', Hiccup realises he is not a killer and instead befriends the dragon, naming it Toothless. As the two unlikely companions begin to form a strong bond of friendship, despite Hiccup's dragon slaying training in full swing and his crush Astrid getting more suspicious, the young Viking soon stumbles across a secret which might hold the key to humans and dragons forming a new future together. The new live-action dragons bring a peril and intensity that differs from the original animations whilst retaining its core messages of friendship, anti-prejudice and teamwork.
