The story begins in London, where a young boy named Quinn Abercromby (played by Christian Bale) witnesses the awakening of ancient dragons after a construction project inadvertently disrupts their underground habitat. As the dragons emerge, they unleash devastation, leading humanity to the brink of extinction. Years later, a now battle-hardened Quinn leads a group of survivors who live in a fortified castle in the English countryside, desperately defending themselves against these relentless creatures.

The plot escalates with the arrival of a band of American soldiers led by Denton Van Zan (played by Matthew McConaughey), a fearless and unpredictable leader with a plan to eliminate the dragons. Van Zan’s arrival brings hope, but also tension, as his methods clash with those of Quinn.
