Eragon

Based on the fantasy novel (a kind of mix of 'Lord Of The Rings' & 'Star Wars'), published in 2003, by then 20 year old Christopher Paolini. Set in a word of dragons and whatnot: "Before your grandfathers' fathers were born, and even before their fathers, the Dragon Riders were formed. To protect and guard was their mission, and for thousands of years they succeeded." While the Dragon Riders where on guard, each with the strength of ten men, humans propsered in the cities of Alagaesia.

But there was a bad apple in their midst, a powerful dude by the name of Galbatorix. After been punished for reckless behaviour, Galbatorix grows angry and splits from the Riders – learning & developing the dark secrets of forbidden magic. He poaches a bunch of Riders who become the Thirteen Forsworn. They defeated the Dragon Riders and took over Alagaesia.

The story follows young farm boy Eragon who finds a polished blue stone in the forest which holds the key to returning the Empire to good rulers. "Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands." Dunno, but go boy!
