Set nearly 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, Aegon’s Conquest (2025) brings to the screen the legendary saga of Aegon I Targaryen—the warlord who forged the Seven Kingdoms into a single realm beneath the banner of House Targaryen. With sweeping battle sequences, brutal political maneuvering, and dragons unleashed as instruments of war, this epic film recounts the moment when Westeros was reshaped in fire and blood.

Henry Cavill stars as Aegon Targaryen, a fierce and calculating conqueror from Dragonstone. Alongside his sister-wives—Visenya (Anya Taylor-Joy), fierce and unyielding, and Rhaenys (Emma Corrin), passionate and empathetic—Aegon launches an audacious campaign to unite Westeros. Though his army is small, his advantage lies in the skies: three terrifying dragons—Balerion the Black Dread, Vhagar, and Meraxes—bring firepower unlike anything the continent has ever seen. From the fiery obliteration of Harrenhal to the thunderous clash at the Battle of the Last Storm, every confrontation is a display of awe-inspiring destruction and military brilliance.

Yet conquest extends beyond the battlefield. Aegon must win the hearts—or at least the fear—of rival kings and noble houses. From the proud Starks of the North to the fierce Dornish who refuse to yield, diplomacy becomes as vital as dragonfire.
