Based on the best-selling novel
by Christopher Paolini, this epic fantasy-adventure presented
by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation is the first chapter
of the Inheritance Trilogy. The movie acclaimed international
cast included Academy Award Winner Jeremy Irons, Academy Award
Nominee John Malkovich, hot rising stars Ed Speleers, and Sienna
Guillory.
When a young farm boy named Eragon finds a polished blue stone
in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery that will
perhaps help buy his family food for the winter. But when the
stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon realizes he has stumbled
upon a legacy older than the kingdom itself: the legacy of
the Dragon Riders.
Overnight, Eragon's simple life is shattered, and he is thrust
into a dangerous new world. With only an ancient sword and
the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the
young dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies
of a land ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. |
