The movie begins in Southern England in the Middle Ages and then six knights are seen riding in horses towards a destroyed town. They see the remains of burned buildings and dead people until they come upon a mother and her dead baby. She quickly dies and then a rhino-sized dragon flies overhead, the knights follow right behind, vowing to kill the creature.
A dragon dies alongside several knights when a cave collapses. The same dragon is cloned, and is killed again by a jet firing a missile at it (however another clone is seen at the end of the film)
