The imaginary world of the world's most popular fantasy role-playing game comes to life in this special-effects laden adventure. In the Empire of Izmer, magic is the key to power in both the supernatural and political realms. The Mages are a sect who know the secrets of magic and use it to hold sway over the masses. The youthful Empress Savina (
Thora Birch) wants to use her powers to bring justice and prosperity to all, but Profion (
Jeremy Irons) is an evil Mage who wants to use his knowledge of magic to overthrow Savina and establish his own despotic rule. Through deceitful means, Profion wins away the special scepter that allows him to control the nation's Golden Dragons; Savina's only hope to recover the scepter and the rule of Izmer is to obtain the Rod of Savrille, a talisman that will give her powers over the Red Dragons, even more powerful than their golden counterparts. As Savina sets out to gain control of the Red Dragons, she gains a number of unlikely allies, including a pair of thieves, Snails (
Marlon Wayans) and Ridely (
Justin Whalin); a powerful dwarf, Elwood (
Lee Arenberg); and Norda (
Kristen Wilson), an elf with a gift for finding lost objects.
Dungeons & Dragons also features
Zoe McLellan,
Bruce Payne, and
Richard O'Brien, the latter of whom is best known as the writer and co-star of the perennial cult item
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
