Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is an Epic Big-Screen Adaptation
Dungeons & Dragons has inspired decades’ worth of art and storytelling, providing fertile ground for epic works of high fantasy and serving as major inspiration for one of the biggest TV phenomena of the 21st Century, Stranger Things. Now, the hugely popular tabletop roleplaying game has finally been adapted for the big screen in the form of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Chris Pine stars as bard Edgin Darvis, the leader of a rag-tag group of misfits which also includes Michelle Rodriguez as barbarian Holga Kilgore, Regé-Jean Page as paladin Xenk Yendar, Justice Smith as apprentice sorcerer Simon Aumar, and Sophia Lillis as tiefling druid Doric. The movie functions as both an homage to the immersive fantasy world loved by players, and an introduction for newbies to the wide-ranging lore and various archetypes you’re likely to find featuring in an average D&D campaign.
The movie follows Edgin and his team as they escape from prison and set out on a mission to rescue Edgin’s daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman) from the clutches of a tyrannical Hugh Grant. Along the way, they must contend with various obstacles and challenges, all while trying to stay one step ahead of their pursuers.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is exclusively showing in theaters. It was released internationally on March 31, and has grossed more than $80 million. Fans of D&D and fantasy adventure movies alike will not want to miss out on this thrilling cinematic experience. If you’re looking to buy tickets, you can do so at Fandango.com. While we can expect the film to eventually make its way to streaming, that will likely not be for until approximately two months after the end of its cinematic run, so make sure to catch it in theaters while you can!
