On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart, defying centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
Dean DeBlois's shot-for-shot live-action remake of the 2010 animated original — critics largely respected the craft, less so the necessity. Mason Thames is a credible Hiccup; the dragon design holds up; the franchise's emotional beats survive the translation. A safer remake than most in this era.
