On the rugged island of Berk, where dragons and Vikings have been at odds for centuries, Hiccup (Mason Thames; Black Fawn, For All Mankind) is a remarkable figure. The creative but overlooked son of chieftain Stoick (Gerard Butler, who voiced the animated series, joins the live-action film), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition to befriend the feared Night Fury dragon Toothless. Their special bond exposes the dragons’ true nature and shakes the very foundations of Viking society. Joined by the strong and ambitious Astrid (Academy Award nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s eccentric blacksmith, Gobber (Nick Frost; The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Shaun of the Dead), Hiccup must navigate a world divided by fear and misunderstanding. When an ancient threat threatens Vikings and dragons alike, Hiccup and Toothless’ friendship becomes the key to creating a new future. The pair explore a difficult journey to peace beyond the boundaries of the world, defining a new definition of what it means to be a hero and a leader. The film stars Julian Dennison (“Deadpool 2”), Gabriel Howell (“Bodies”), Bronwyn James (“Wicked”), Harry Trebaldwin (“Into the Wild”), Ruth Cord (“The Midnight Club”), Academy Award® nominee Peter Serafinowicz (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), and Murray MacArthur (“Game of Thrones”). “How to Train Your Dragon” is written, produced and directed by Dean DeBlois and co-executive produced by three-time Academy Award® nominee Marc Platt (“Wicked,” “La La Land”) and Emmy® winner Adam Siegel (“Drive,” “Two Guns”). How to Train Your Dragon is part of the IMAX program, bringing the most immersive cinematic experience to audiences worldwide with IMAX technology. Inspired by Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated audiences around the world, earning four Academy Award nominations and grossing over $1.6 billion at the global box office. With cutting-edge visual effects from director DeBlois, the beloved animated series is brought to life in a breathtaking, live-action spectacle that brings Hiccup and Toothless on an epic adventure where they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny with incredible realism.
