Synopsis
AGE OF THE DRAGONS is an adaptation of Herman Melville’s classic
novel Moby Dick and is set in a medieval realm where Captain Ahab
(Danny Glover) and his crew hunt dragons for the vitriol that powers
their world. Ishmael (Corey Sevier), is a charismatic harpooner and
his friend Queequeg (John Kepa Kruse) join their quest. Ahab’s
adopted daughter Rachel (Sofia Pernas), beautiful and tough, runs
the hunting vessel.
Ahab’s obsession is to seek revenge on a great ‘White Dragon’
that slaughtered his family when he was young and left his body
scarred and mauled, and so drives the crew deeper into the heart of
darkness. In the White Dragon’s lair Ahab’s secrets and his
motives are finally uncovered. As this dangerous hunt could end in
death, Rachel must face the difficult task of choosing between
either following Ahab on his dark quest or escaping to a new life
with Ishmael.
