Reign of Fire
Quinn Abercromby, 12, is present in London when he witnesses the awakening of the hibernating Dragon from its centuries-long sleep. This was the result of Quinn’s mother supervising the construction digging, an event for which Quinn partially takes responsibility. The adult Quinn, Christian Bale, is now the fire chief in a rebuilt castle community. He has to douse the flames set by the dragon’s numerous offspring. These flaming juggernauts have decimated civilizations and made humans an endangered species. Denton Van Zan, an American who is known for being the first man to kill one of these dragons (Matthew McConaughey), and Alex (Izabella Schorupco), are both hopeful. They’re pilots and scientists and members of Van Zan’s army. This zealous fighting force includes a secret weapon, the Archangels. These paratroopers use themselves to lure and dispatch deadly creatures.
