Based on the best-selling novel, this is an epic fantasy-adventure about a young farm boy named Eragon whose destiny is revealed with the help of a dragon. Eragon, now a Dragon Rider, is swept into a world of magic and power, discovering that he can save – or destroy – an Empire.

In a world similar to Earth, there are twelve bloodlines, or races. Each bloodline has a champion between the ages of 13 and 17 who is trained as a warrior and is always ready to do battle. When they turn 18, the teen warrior behind them gets promoted. This has been the case for hundreds of years, but no one remembers why — they’re always ready for some sort of battle to take place, but it never does. But the tradition continues. And then one day they’re called to fight, and all the bloodlines but the winners will be exterminated. They’re fighting to be the last race.

Set in the future, Manhattan had been turned into an island-sized maximum security prison. When the president of the United States crashes into the decaying city, Snake Plissken, an outlaw, is coerced into traveling inside to rescue him. Plissken is given 22 hours to liberate the president. If he fails, he’s wired to explode.
