Plot

The film takes place in present-day England. Stanley (Trichter) is an American exchange student who, upon becoming separated from his friends in a cavern, finds an unusual rock. He and his friend Rosie (Fothergill) take it home and wash it, discovering it is actually an egg. Rosie suspects it is a dinosaur egg, but when it hatches, they discover the creature inside is actually a dragon. The dragon grows quickly and they name him "Olly". However, the dragon is appropriated by the local authorities, who put it in a zoo. Suspecting the dragon may be the last of its kind, Stanley endeavours to free it.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Hmm. Yes. I suppose that's not really subject to diagnosis thingies.
gollark: Better diagnosis, possibly? I don't know what the exact numbers are. Probably accounts for some.
gollark: Is it? You haven't, well... proved it? I don't think you can "prove" it, but you need good empirical evidence at least.
