Reign of Fire

2001, 102 minutes

Dragons are set free from the depths of the earth and lay waste to all life on the planet.

During Underground construction in London around the year 2008, a huge, hibernating dragon is discovered and springs to life, incinerating all construction workers. The only survivor is Quinn Abercromby (Christian Bale). The dragon escapes, and soon thousands of them burn everything. Quinn leads a small community of survivors living in a medieval stone castle who hope to outlast the dragons, waiting until they die out again and go into hibernation. But they risk starving to death before that. However, a team of American volunteers arrive, led by Denton Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey) who have devised an elaborate tracking system to hunt and kill dragons. If together they can destroy the one male dragon that exists, they might be able to save humanity.
