Reign of Fire

Fight Fire With Fire.

In present-day London, twelve-year-old Quinn watches as his mother, a construction engineer, inadvertently wakes an enormous fire-breathing beast from its centuries-long slumber. Twenty years later, much of the world has been scarred by the beast and its offspring. As a fire chief, Quinn (Christian Bale) is responsible for warding off the beasts and keeping a small community alive as they eke out a meager existence. Into their midst comes a hotshot American, Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey), who says he has a way to kill the beasts and save mankind – away Quinn's never seen done. Directed by Rob Bowman (“The X Files”), “Reign of Fire” fuses a medieval past with a post-apocalyptic future in this exciting tale of adventure and survival.

Critic Reviews:

• " The characters are sketchy, the plot is full of logical holes and the story is all fight and flight. But despite its flaws, it is enjoyable if you like special effects, warriors and computer-generated dragons. " – SMH Staff

• " Reign of Fire is one of the most intense and enjoyable monster flicks I've ever seen. " – Steve Newton

• " Delivers a fresh, rousing take on the venerable traditions of the monster movie. " – Margaret A. McGurk
