Dragon Fighter

In medieval England, a dragon lays waste to a town. Six knights vow to strike the creature in its lair. Their pledge sets up a long, interrupted struggle that will echo across the ages.

During the clash, the dragon hurls a fireball at barrels of gunpowder, triggering a massive explosion. The blast caves in and traps the dragon along with five of the knights. The immediate pursuit ends as the two sides are separated by rubble.

A thousand years later, the desert near California hosts a secret underground research facility where scientists clone endangered or extinct animals. Captain David Carver arrives to take on security duties and is introduced to the crew: Captain Sergei Petrov, Dr. Meredith Winter, Dr. Greg Travis, Kevin Korisch, and Bailey Kent. Cookie, the facility's cook, is also part of the team.

Dr. Ian Drackovitch reveals that he uncovered remains of a winged creature and orders the fossils sealed in a cloning chamber. He predicts the full animal could reform within 24 hours. The crew reacts with unease as the project advances.

The cloning process completes in just three hours. Ian sends two scientists into the chamber to retrieve the specimen, but an explosion tears through the room. The cloned dragon bursts through a hidden passage into an underground basement.

David and Dr. Greg Travis find the charred remains of the two researchers. Greg is killed by the dragon and bullets prove ineffective against the creature. The threat shifts from a hidden threat to a direct hunt through the facility.

David and Captain Sergei Petrov race toward the elevator to escape, but the back hallway explodes, killing Sergei. With the dragon triggering a facility-wide lockdown, the remaining humans are trapped with it.

The dragon's warm-blooded nature requires cooling the environment to prevent pressure on the elevator. The team believes they need access to Kevin's laptop to access the mainframe, so David orders Kevin to come along. Kevin resists, and the plan ends when the dragon consumes him.

David returns with the damaged laptop and downloads the data needed to access the mainframe. Ian, losing his grip, starts shooting the mainframe, triggering a self-destruct sequence that will blow the facility in minutes.

David navigates a vent and manually reboots the elevator system, allowing the remaining survivors to sprint to safety before the base explodes. The tense dash through the vents shows their desperation as debris and heat close in.

Inside the elevator, the dragon fries the cables, trapping everyone. Bailey and Cookie are killed when the dragon breathes fire into the car.

Ian, Dr. Winter, and her cloned dog manage to exit and board a helicopter as the facility erupts. The dragon chases them from ground to air, and Ian is knocked from the chopper and dies.

Jets arrive, but heat-seeking missiles are ineffective against the cold-blooded dragon. Dr. Winter takes control of the helicopter while David dumps fuel and fires a flare, igniting the dragon, and a well-aimed missile finishes it off.

Back at the wreckage, two soldiers venture into a second, hidden lab beneath the first. They discover a cloning chamber containing a dragon embryo that grows rapidly, breaks free, and kills them.
