About the Movie
Set during the turmoil of the Spanish Civil War (early 1900s), There Be Dragons tells the story of two childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides as war erupts. One chooses the path of peace and becomes a priest (St. Josemaria Escriva) while the other chooses a life of jealousy and revenge. Each struggles to find the faith and forgiveness to overcome the forces tearing them apart.

Wes Bentley (American Beauty) leads a terrific ensemble cast that includes: Charlie Cox (Stardust), Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace), Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech), Dougray Scott (Mission Impossible II) and Rodrigo Santoro (300).
