What the box says:  Matthew McConaughey (U-571) and Christian Bale (Shaft) star in an explosive action-packed adventure with bone-charring special effects that will have you glued to your seat!

When a London tunneling project uncovers an unearthly fire-breathing beast from centuries of slumber, all hell breaks loose.  Twelve-year-old Quinn (Bale) sees his mother, one of the workers, die trying to escape this new terror.  Twenty years later as a "fire chief," he tries to keep a group of refugees alive with fierce dragons dominating the air, burning the land, and feeding on the ash.  Unexpectedly, Van Zan (McConaughey), a hotshot American militia leader, shows up with a ragtag group of slayers on a perilous crusade to hunt down and destroy the leadership - until both men realize only one species is getting out of this alive.
