Dungeons and dragon honor among thieves
"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" (2023) is a fantasy adventure film based on the classic tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. Here's a summary of the story:
advertisementPlot Summary
Edgin Darvis, a charming bard and former member of the Harpers (a peacekeeping group), turns to thievery after the death of his wife. Alongside his loyal friend Holga Kilgore, a fierce barbarian, Edgin forms a crew of thieves including Forge Fitzwilliam (a conman), Simon Aumar (a struggling sorcerer), and Sofina (a mysterious wizard).
They attempt a heist to retrieve a magical tablet that could resurrect Edgin's wife, but things go wrong. Edgin and Holga are captured and imprisoned for two years.
Upon escaping, they discover that Forge has risen to power as the ruler of Neverwinter and has adopted Edgin’s daughter, Kira. However, Forge has become corrupt and is working with Sofina—who turns out to be a Red Wizard with sinister intentions. Forge has turned Kira against Edgin by telling her he abandoned her for greed.
Determined to win back his daughter and stop the Red Wizard's plan, Edgin regathers his team and recruits a tiefling druid named Doric. They plan a new heist—not just to steal back the tablet, but also to expose Forge and thwart a magical catastrophe set in motion by Sofina.
Their adventure takes them through classic D&D-style challenges: resurrecting corpses for information, navigating a deadly dungeon maze, and facing mythical creatures like a chonky red dragon named Themberchaud.
