Synopsis:

Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale star in an explosive action-packed adventure with bone-charring special effects that will have you glued to your seat!

When a London tunneling project uncovers an unearthly fire-breathing beast from centuries of slumber… all hell breaks loose. Twelve-year-old Quinn sees his mother, one of the workers, die trying to escape this new terror. Twenty years later as a “fire chief”, he tries to keep a group of refugees alive with fierce dragons dominating the air, burning the land, and feeding on the ash.

Unexpectedly, Van Zan, a hotshot American militia leader, shows up with a ragtag group of slayers on a perilous crusade to hunt down and destroy the beasts. Tempers flare when there is a struggle for leadership – until both men realize only one species is getting out of this alive.
