Tagline: This is no game.
That controversial video arcade game has finally hit the silver screen.
The Empire of Izmer has long been a divided land. The Mages, an elite group of magic users, rule whilst the lowly commoners are powerless. Izmer's young Empress, Savina, Thora Birch, wants equality and prosperity for all, but the evil Mage Profion, Jeremy Irons, is plotting to depose her, and establish his own rule. The Empress possesses a scepter, which controls Izmer's Golden Dragons. To challenge her rule, Profion must have the scepter, and tricks the Council of Mages into believing Savina is unfit to hold it.
Knowing that Profion will bring death and destruction to Izmer, Savina, must find the legendary Rod of Savrille, a mythical rod that has the power to control Red Dragons, a species even mightier than the Gold. Enter two thieves, Ridley, Justin Whalin and Snails, Marlon Wayans, who unwittingly become instrumental in Savina's search for the Rod. Joined by a feisty Dwarf named Elwood, Lee Arenberg.
