There Be Dragons is an epic action-adventure romance set during the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War. Boasting an all-star cast including Wes Bentley (American Beauty), Charlie Cox (Stardust), Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace), Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible 2), Derek Jacobi (The King’s Speech) and Lily Cole (St Trinians), the film will be released by G2 Pictures on DVD & Blu-ray 13 February.
The story traces the lives of two young men, childhood friends who become separated by the political upheaval of pre-war Spain to find themselves on opposite sides as war erupts. One becomes a priest, founding the Opus Dei movement, the other chooses war, becoming a spy for the fascists. As personal and national battles rage, the characters’ lives collide and their deepest struggles are illuminated through the fateful choices they make. Each will struggle to find the power of forgiveness over the forces tearing their lives and friendship apart.
