The Flight of Dragons

About the movie

Carolinus, the Green Wizard, is worried that the role of magic in the world is waning. He calls on his three fellow wizards to create a Realm of Magic in which to preserve their way of life. Solaris, Blue Wizard of Depths and Heights and Lo Tae Zhao, Yellow Wizard lord of Light and Air are in agreement. But Ommadon, the Red Wizard of the Devil's Domain, will not cooperate. He uses it as an opportunity to take over the world. So Carolinus builds a team of three to conduct a quest for wresting the red crown from Ommadon. Peter Dickenson, a young Boston writer, is called back through time to lead the team. He is the first descendant of the dragon master Peter the Great who is conversant in both science and magic. Joining him are the dragon Gorbash and knight errant, Sir Orin Neville-Smythe. Ommadon sends his dragon Bryagh to kidnap Peter. Carolinus quickly casts a defensive spell that accidentally mergers Peter with the dragon Gorbash. This means a new third questor is needed. Carolinus names his old dragon Smrgol to the position. A series of challenges awaits the questors. In the end they are aided by the Shield of Saturn from Solaris and the Golden Flute of Healing Sleep from Lo Tae Zhao. Carolinus's daughter, Melisande, and Peter are spiritually and mentally linked during the adventure. Enroute, the questing team gains assistance from Aragh the wolf, Danielle the archer and Giles, a tree elf. They eventually pass through Gormley's Keep into the Realm of Red Death.—Garon Smith
