This is an interesting medieval fantasy about a vicious dragon that terrorizes a town and novice sorcerer, Peter MacNichol, attempting to defeat it. Its plot is rather trite, but it surprisingly holds well together. With a marvelous set and great special effects, it proves its big budget was not a waste.
