Reign Of Fire

Synopsis: It is twenty years in the future, and the planet has been devastated by vicious fire-breathing dragons. The last vestiges of humanity now struggle for survival at remote outposts. In a ruined castle in the English countryside, Quinn is desperately trying to hold together a band of frightened, restless survivors. As a boy, Quinn watched his mother die protecting him from one of the beasts, and is still haunted by the memory. One day, a group of American rogues shows up, led by a brash, tough-guy named Van Zan. He claims to have discovered a way to kill the dragons once and for all, and enlists Quinn's help. But doing so will force Quinn to confront his own frightening memories. This, and Quinn's responsibilities to those that are under his protection, results in a battle of wills between the two men. In the end, events cause them both to realize that they must work together to defeat the monsters--both without and within.

Hello, Quinn.
Good morning, Quinn.
How's it going, mate?
What's up, guys?
Working the late shift,
are you?
Ha! Someone's got to
clean up after you guys.
All right, Quinn.
Oi, oi, oi.
Come on, then.
You're not havin' one
yourself, then?
No.
I'm trying to cut back.
You heard from the school,
then, didn't you?
Down you go.
Good night, lads.
...See you, Karen. ... Great
work. Have a good weekend.
Oi, Karen,
here's the new recruit.
...Employment office
is up top. ... Hi, Mum!
Quinn, how are you, mate?
Have you been smoking?
No, I told you... I only smoke
when I've been drinking.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Quinn... what is it?
You've got something
you want to show me.
You know what it says.
Scholarship was worth...
$3,000 a year.
We don't have
that sort of money.
Maybe we could ask Dad
to pay.
Sorry.
Karen?
What?
Got a problem at number 4.
Jess says he's hit
some sort of a void.
Oh, that bitch hasn't a clue
to what she's doing.
Hey... Quinn.
And what brings you
to the arsehole of the world?
You're passing through it.
What's that make you?
Ha.
Here.
Why don't you go inside
and have a wee look?
Wicked.
Whoa.
...I know it's still...
... Well, I covered it.
What... Quinn!
Mum, there's something
in there.
There's something
in the hole!
Damn it, Jess!
It's unsafe conditions!
Here.
Let's look at this void.
It's unsafe!
I'm just going to wash
your eyes out, okay?
Mum, we've got to go!
No, no.
We've got to do this fast.
Open your eyes.
Open them up. Open them.
Oh.
Give me that.
Get in!
Mum, there was something
in there!
...Come here!
Come on! Come on!
Mum!
Ahhhhhhh!
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
I've kept this for years,
because someday
it will be up to you.
I don't want you to be afraid.
I want you to understand.
Knowledge is the only weapon
we've got left.
In the beginning, it was
ignorance that destroyed us.
I saw the first, but soon
the world saw millions.
No one knew how they spawned
so fast.
They swarmed like locusts,
burning everything
in their path,
driven by one purpose...
to feed.
Even then, we couldn't believe
they were real.
Ancient man had made them
into myths,
but nature had made something
far more terrible.
Too late, our scientists
discovered their true identity...
a species which had burned
the dinosaurs to dust,
whose ash had brought on
ice ages,
who, in eons past, had scorched
the world clean of life,
waiting for the Earth
to replenish itself,
to start their cycle anew.
...2... 1. ... Our weapons
shot fire back at them,
yet for every one of them
killed,
a hundred took its place.
They seemed invulnerable.
We could only look on
as our leaders used
their greatest arsenal
to destroy them.
...But in the end,
we only helped them,
till the world burned
and the few of us
that were left fled the cities,
found shelter where we could.
...You have to understand
our past
because you will decide
our future.
They're starving now,
and they're more dangerous
than ever.
But we have to go on.
We have to outlast them.
Only one species is getting
out of this alive.
Hey, Quinn!
Come and have a look
at this!
It's a straight drop now
from the water tower.
You just pull the plug,
hits the walls.
Don't care about the specs,
Jerry.
can it take it?
Yeah. Course it can.
Remember, I used to build
blast furnaces for a living.
I know all about fire.
Of course you do.
Sorry, mate.
Nice one.
Eddie's gone psycho.
...Jared?
... Yeah, Quinn?
Keep 'em at it.
No slacking!
You heard him.
No slacking.
Go!
...I shall always walk.
