HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is the story of a friendship between a timid Viking and a mysterious dragon. The film is probably set in the early medieval times. The village of Berk, inhabited by Vikings and a few other tribes, is constantly attacked by dragons. These dragons cause destruction... and take away livestock. Hiccup (Mason Thames), the son of the village chieftain Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), wants to fight the dragons just like other warriors in his village. However, he’s deemed too weak and is instead asked to intern with Gobber (Nick Frost), the village blacksmith. The experience helps Hiccup to understand and create different machines. He manufactures a bolas launcher and he takes it out when the dragons attack one night. He goes away from the village and realizes that he is able to spot a Night Fury. It’s a dragon no one has ever seen and is considered to be the most dangerous of all. Hiccup launches an attack and shoots down the Night Fury. He informs his father and villagers about it but they don’t take him seriously. The next day, he goes to the outskirts to prove himself right. He realizes that he is right and that he indeed attacked the creature. Instead of killing him, Hiccup sets the Night Fury free. The dragon also doesn’t kill him but escapes. The Night Fury is unable to fly as Hiccup’s bolas tear off one-half of the former’s tail fin. This is when Hiccup designs a prosthetic tail fin for Night Fury. Hiccup further names him Toothless. Toothless is now able to fly but only if Hiccup will ride on top of him. Meanwhile, Stoick and the rest of the warriors have ventured into the sea to find the nest of the dragons. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
