On the surface, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves may seem like standard fare – it follows a ragtag bunch of outcasts brought together to complete a mission with the help and hindrance of magic, mysterious villains, and mythical creatures. However, this movie has an extra layer to it: it's bringing a beloved table-top roleplaying game to life.
Co-directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the movie follows Edgin the bard (Chris Pine) and Holga the barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez) as they attempt to reunite with Edgin's daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman) and rescue her from her nefarious guardian Forge Fitzwilliam (Hugh Grant). Along the way, the pair recruit Simon, a self-deprecating sorcerer (Justice Smith) and Doric, a revenge-driven tiefling (Sophia Lillis)
