The young, sickly King Einon was wounded in a battle. In order for him to survive, he is healed by Draco, a dragon. Some years later, Bowen, a dragonslayer, encounters Draco. The two team up to form a travelling duo that perform an act, but the act is only known by themselves. Bowen supposedly "slays" Draco and then collects a reward from the town or village that he protects by killing the dragon who had been "terrorizing" them. From there, Bowen and Draco must save the entire kingdom from the rule of the now evil King Einon, who is part of Draco, and Draco a part of him.
Ah, how I love Dragonheart. This was made during the dawn of CGI. After Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park pushed the boundaries of special effects to a whole new level, Universal decided to try something different with computer effects and storytelling. The result was this lovable film that has, dare I say it, a burning passion.
The story of a dragon (Sean Connery) and a dragon slayer (Dennis Quaid) becoming friends and teaming up against a tyrannical king is unforgettable. This movie is just full of comedy, action, and drama and the cast, especially Sean Connery, deliver terrific performances. It's not often you see a dragon movie like this and with that, it should be commended.
I give this movie a 7 for entertainment value and a fiery extra point for the effort in which this was made.
