Synopsis:

As darkness falls in the magical land of Alagaësia, the last dragon will choose its rider… and the final battle between good and evil will begin. A heroic tale both adventurous and enchanting, Eragon is a lavish fantasy adventure-epic for a new generation of dreamers that will soar onto DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) March 20th from Fox Home Entertainment. Based on the first thrilling chapter of the epic Inheritance Trilogy by author Christopher Paolini, a child prodigy whose rise to literary fame is a fantasy tale unto itself, Eragon became an instant bestseller and worldwide phenomenon that has sold over five million copies in North America alone and spent 87 consecutive weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List.
