Storia
In the 6th century, a pact has been made between King Casiodorax and a fearsome dragon, Galares. To protect his kingdom, the king agrees to annually sacrifice a virgin to the beast. The next victim is Princess Elspeth, the king's daughter. An old sorcerer, Ultraximus, and his apprentice, Galen, volunteer to slay the dragon and save the princess. However, they soon discover that the dragon is immortal, feeding on human fear. To defeat it, Galen must become a man of courage, proving that even without fear, he can still wield magic.
Riassunto
Dragonslayer (1981), directed by Matthew Robbins, is a medieval fantasy adventure film set in the 6th century. The story revolves around the immortal dragon Galares, which threatens the kingdom unless the king annually sacrifices a virgin to it. When Princess Elspeth becomes the next sacrifice, Ultraximus and his apprentice Galen step forward to defeat the beast. However, they find that the dragon is invulnerable due to its ability to feed on human fear. The film explores themes of courage, self-discovery, and the power of belief over fear.
