Movie Summary:
Hiccup is a smart and clumsy teenager, who lives on the island, Berk.  Berk is inhabited by a tribe of tough Vikings, led by Chief Stoick, who happens to be Hiccup’s father!  Hiccup is a blacksmith for the tribe, but deep inside his heart, he dreams of becoming a true Viking.  Chief Stoick is reluctant about Hiccup living up to the true Viking standards because of his small stature, his weak abilities and constant clumsiness. 
The Vikings of Berk are familiar with nightly dragon attacks on a daily basis.   In order to become a true Viking, a warrior must capture a dragon and kill it.  So, on one dragon attack, Hiccup attempts to capture a dragon, and does!  But, before killing the dragon, which happens to be a rare Night Fury species, Hiccup feels sorry for him and sets him free.   The dragon soon befriends Hiccup as a way of saying thank you for saving his life.  After many adventures, Hiccup and the dragon, which he names Toothless, become best friends.  Hiccup keeps his friendship with Toothless a secret from his father and all the Vikings in Berk.  However, when the secret breaks loose, controversy stirs among the tribe, and after time, war rises against the dragon race.  Hiccup and Toothless set off on a desperate mission to save all dragons.  Can Hiccup prove himself a hero and save the entire species of dragons from their fate?
