DragonHeart is a 1996 fantasy adventure film directed by Rob Cohen, written by Charles Edward Pogue, and starring Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery, and David Thewlis. The story takes place in a medieval world where dragons are believed to be extinct and mythical creatures.
The movie follows Bowen, a knight who makes a living performing dragon-slaying performances for townspeople. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he meets Draco, the last of the dragons, who has a surprisingly different personality from the vicious beasts Bowen had known.
Bowen initially sees Draco as his next target, but he quickly realizes that the dragon can speak and has a compassionate side. Their bond grows as they team up to help the people of the kingdom who are suffering under the rule of a cruel king, Einon, who was saved by Draco when he was a boy and given half of his heart, making him impervious to harm.
As Bowen and Draco attempt to overthrow the king, they are faced with a dilemma: if they kill Einon, they will also be killing Draco, who shares Einon's heart. The movie explores themes of loyalty, the power of friendship, and redemption as Bowen and Draco navigate their complicated relationship while trying to save the kingdom.
The film was highly praised for its groundbreaking special effects and the performances of Quaid and Connery, who provided the voice of Draco. The soundtrack, composed by Randy Edelman, was also well-received and features the popular song "To the Stars" by Scottish singer-songwriter Lisa Gerrard.
