Dragonheart

Sean Connery provides the voice of the last dragon on earth in this medieval tale of a freelance knight (Dennis Quaid) who's forced to turn against the tyrant king (David Thewlis) he tutored as a boy. In order to bring the king to justice the noble warrior must kill him, but in doing so he would also end the gentle dragon's life. The jaw-dropping special effects--especially those of the animated dragon--were truly groundbreaking at the time of production and still remain awe-inspiring despite recent advances in CGI animation.
