Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Based on the popular role playing game, a charming thief & his band of unlikely adventurers go on a quest to retrieve long lost relics in this fantasy heist action comedy. Tricked & imprisioned, Edgin (Chris Pine) & Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) escape from their dungeon & go on a quest to retrieve the resurrection tablet & find his daughter, Kira. Along the way, they team up an amateur sorcerer, Simon, & a shaped-shifting druid, Doric. They must do battle against enemies like rogue/con man, Forge (Hugh Grant), Sofina, the Red Wizard, and, of course, dragons. With dazzling special effects, it’s ancient times with magical modern upgrades to appease today’s audiences. It’s a fun film. Will this terrific cast of adventurers with great chemistry be back for more adventures? Look for a humorous mid credit clip.
