George and the Dragon 2004

George (James Purefoy), a noble English knight, returns from the First Crusade, where he befriended the Moor Tarik (Michael Clarke Duncan) and took him to his ancestral Europe, rowing with rather worldly Father Bernard (Jean-Pierre Castaldi) aboard. George's father, Sir Robert (Paul Freeman), reminds him of his prediction that the son will finish his fight with the dragons. This story George never took seriously, but still takes the "dragon horn" along when he travels north on the Pict border to settle in the small Christian kingdom of Crail. Here, the beloved King Edgar (Simon Callow) has only one worry, the disappearance of his heiress daughter Princess Lunna (Piper Perabo). Promised a plot to farm on as reward, George joins the quest with loyal royal retainer Elmendorf (Bill Treacher) and the Princess' haughty fiance Garth (Patrick Swayze), whose only priority is winning the throne while his guard is nearly worthless. They find Bulchar's (Stefan Jurgens') gang of robbers is after her for ransom. She wasn't kidnapped, but has taken upon herself to guard the egg of Adelaide, the last dragon, which she called "Smythe", and is determined to protect the species from extinction. It's a long and perilous journey, while some friends prove to be foes and once the other way around, and opinions on the dragon's fate oppose even true friends.
