In the organizer's words:

The globally popular adventure DRAGON TAMING MADE EASY shines in a breathtaking new interpretation: writer and director Dean DeBlois - three-time Oscar® nominee, Golden Globe winner and creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation's acclaimed trilogy - breathes new life into the saga with state-of-the-art visual effects technology. In this stunning live-action epic, the young Viking Hiccup and the majestic Nightshade dragon Toothless face great challenges to discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.

On the rugged island of Berk, where a bitter enmity between Vikings and dragons has raged for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames, For All Mankind) proves to be an outsider. The resourceful but underestimated son of Chieftain Haudrauf (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated series) defies centuries of tradition when he befriends the feared Night Fury dragon Toothless. Their extraordinary bond not only reveals the true nature of dragons - it challenges the values of all Vikings.

With the ambitious and combative Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker, Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the quirky weaponsmith Grobian (Nick Frost, Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) at his side, Hiccup confronts a world consumed by fear and misunderstanding. When an ancient threat puts both Vikings and dragons in danger, his friendship with Toothless becomes the key to a better future.

DRAGON TAMING MADE EASY was written, directed and produced by Dean DeBlois. Three-time Oscar®-nominated Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy-winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns) are also involved as producers. The film is part of the "Filmed For IMAX®" program, which provides filmmakers with IMAX® technology to create an immersive cinematic experience for audiences worldwide.

Based on Cressida Cowell's New York Times best-selling series, DreamWorks Animations enchanted audiences worldwide with the Taming the Dragon franchise, which was nominated for four Oscars® and grossed more than $1.6 billion at the global box office. Using state-of-the-art visual effects technology, DeBlois now transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle that brings the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with stunning realism as the two discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.
