Bowen (Quaid) is a knight dedicated to The Old Code - a nobel creed of honor. When his pupil, Prince Einon, becomes an even crueler king than his father, Bowen's idealism turns to bitterness. Believing Einon's soul to have been poisoned by a dragon, Bowen vows to destroy them all - to the very last. On his quest for revenge, he meets the dragon "Draco" (Connery), whose power, strength and wit prove to be more than a match for the disillusioned knight. And what begins as a life or death struggle between the two evolves into a friendship that will change the face of their medieval world.

Co-starring David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Julie Christie and Dina Meyer, this epic adventure will move and thrill the entire family.
