"Having a luck dragon with you is the only way to go on a quest."

It's 2020... Who doesn't need a little luck? Or maybe... a luck dragon! Prepare to revisit your childhood with this fantastical movie about an 80's kid whose day off school involves a flying luck dragon (as opposed to, say, a Ferrari), a sinking horse, an ancient turtle, and a lesson about how the spread of malaise and lethargy can lead to... A bunch of nothing.

Barett Oliver stars as a young boy named Bastian, who decides to duck into his local bookstore to avoid bullies one morning while on the way to school. He managers to sneak away with a strange-looking book called "The Neverending Story," which he begins reading in the school attic while avoiding class. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land threatened by "The Nothing," a mysterious darkness that destroys everything it touches. As he reads further, he learns that the kingdom of Fantasia needs the help of a human child to survive, and when he reads a description of himself in the book, his day off school turns into something else entirely... Also starring Gerald McRaney, Noah Hathaway.

"A fairytale of the very best kind." (Time Out Magazine)
