The Best You Can (2025)

One year after the fall of Drago and his Bewilderbeast, the village of Berk lives under a new pressure: the dragons it saved are multiplying and hunters across the sea respond by rounding up dragons wherever they can. Hiccup, now leading the islanders, organizes sorties with the Berk warriors to intercept raiding ships and free captured beasts. The freed dragons pour back into Berk faster than the island can hold them, and the settlement quickly grows crowded; boats cannot berth in the narrow fjords, barns overflow, and young dragons screech in the longhouses. Faced with the unbearable density and the escalating danger of vengeful hunters, Hiccup, who remembers the stories his father Stoick told him about a secret refuge for dragons, decides the only sustainable future is relocation. He briefs the villagers, and the dragons themselves form the transport: hundreds of beasts lift entire houses and longships and carry the people away from their familiar harbor.

The fleet flies until it reaches a slender, wind-swept island balanced atop a sheer cliff where no ship can sail and where a deep mist hides the approaches. The dragons set each house down on narrow terraces and hollowed promontories, and the villagers, wary but resilient, begin to make the new perch habitable. They rename their new home New Berk and set to work shaping roofs and ramps into the cliffside. Children explore ledges and dragons stake out vantage points. The community's early days on the cliff are hard but buoyed by pride: the island is defensible and the dragons seem content with the clean air and the cliffside caverns.

From the ocean beyond, a new threat sharpens its focus on the cliffside refuge. Grimmel, a veteran dragon hunter with a reputation for patience and cruelty, scouts the coasts with cunning, plotting to take from Berk the rarest prize he can imagine: Toothless, the last known Night Fury. To lure Toothless and diminish Berk's confidence, Grimmel releases another Night Fury--a female of the same species--into the skies above New Berk. The new dragon moves with a translucence and speed that immediately captivates Toothless, and he follows her above the island, circling and calling. Astrid, watching the pair with the others, names the newcomer the Light Fury.

Hiccup reacts to their courtship in a practical, humane way: he constructs a new prosthetic fin for Toothless, designing a tail-sail that allows the dragon to take to the air without a rider while still keeping him safe. He coats the sail with a primer made from dragon scales, producing a fireproof finish so that Toothless can fly through fire and flame without damage. The canvas is stitched and bolted to the fin; Hiccup mounts it and launches for a test, then releases Toothless to follow the Light Fury on its own. Free of a rider and given the new fin, Toothless soars in the clouds and learns to harness the sky in a novel way: he discovers how to draw energy from lightning in fierce thunderstorms and use that charge to vanish in a streak of electric light, a trait the Light Fury exhibits naturally.

Toothless' pursuit takes him through a roiling storm system where he practices disappearing and reappearing by channeling lightning along his body until, at the storm's edge, the Light Fury leads him through a veil of phosphorescent caverns into a realm beyond the mapped seas. Hiccup, concerned that Toothless might be lost to him, mounts Astrid's dragon Stormfire--she flies at his side--and they search the coastal bounds until they find a hidden mouth of water and sky. There, tucked away from human ships, lies a vast, bioluminescent cavern: the Hidden World that Stoick once told him about. The Light Fury brings Toothless inside, and the Night Fury that has been his companion from puphood is instantly recognized and accepted by hundreds of dragons. In the Hidden World's great caverns Toothless asserts himself as the new Alpha among the dragons; the other creatures defer to him in the deepening glow.

Hiccup and Astrid return to New Berk with news of the Hidden World, and the community rejoices that a sanctuary exists nearby. For a time the living arrangements seem balanced: some dragons remain with the people of New Berk, while others retreat to the protected caverns. That fragile equilibrium collapses when Grimmel escalates his campaign. He begins to capture Night Furies and other rare species, operating with stealth and venom. During a calculated night raid he snatches the Light Fury and several other dragons, taking them aboard his ships. He threatens the female Night Fury in front of Toothless, using her life as leverage: Grimmel's intent is to force Toothless to lead every dragon in the area off of the cliff and onto his ships, where he will slay or sell them. Toothless, traumatized by the sight of the Light Fury endangered and caged, resists Grimmel's order but flees the island to find and join her; Berk's safety hangs by his response.

Hiccup does not wait. He outfits his team in gliding armor--suits that allow their wearers to dive from the cliff and ride the winds between dragons and ships--and he and his assembly of friends take to the air. They launch from New Berk in the late light and sweep in over Grimmel's armada, diving through rigging and across decks. The gliders give them range and speed; they slam into the hunter crews, cutting nets and ripping cages, and call dragons to join the melee. The Viking assault is precise: Hiccup aims for the cages holding Night Furies and frees the Light Fury in a burst of steel and shouted orders. The battle on the water becomes chaotic: dragons latch onto masts and grapple with sails; hunters fall screaming into surf as vikings and dragons tangle in midair.

During the confusion Hiccup confronts Grimmel directly. The hunter is a small, spare man with a cold, calculated gaze; his own dragon accompanies him and carries a lethal venom that Grimmel knows how to apply. Their fight is terse and brutal, brief enough that it reads like a contest of wills. Grimmel strikes Hiccup with bladed instruments and hurled traps; Hiccup counters with agile maneuvers in his glider and with the swordsmanship of a leader who refuses to let his people lose what they have gained. Grimmel, though, has a treacherous edge: he sprays the Light Fury with his dragon's venom to force her compliance and then uses the same toxin on Toothless during the pursuit. From a vantage above the wake Grimmel fires a thistle-like projectile coated in venom that strikes Toothless; the poison courses through the dragon and paralyzes his limbs, leaving him limp and adrift over the sea.

Seeing Toothless fall, Hiccup leaps into action. He rips free of the tangled rigging on his glider and dives, chasing Grimmel as the hunter retreats. Grimmel keeps control of the Light Fury by threatening the animal's life, driving Hiccup into a narrow chase. The two men trade blows and lunge for advantage above the churning waves. Grimmel, realizing that he cannot keep both the Light Fury and Hiccup alive if Hiccup will not comply, uses his own cunning cruelty; he slashes Hiccup's glider, tearing its framework and slackening its control lines, a deliberate act meant to send both men into the cold water. With the glider shredded by Grimmel's hands, the two of them plunge together from height toward the grey sea.

As they fall, Hiccup forces himself to act not as a victor but as a father-figure of a people who have learned to trust dragons. He reaches into the downed line of his glider, frees a tether, and focuses on releasing the Light Fury from Grimmel's verbal and chemical command. He orders the female Night Fury to go to Toothless, to save her mate, and to use whatever power she possesses to revive him and to protect the other dragons. The Light Fury obeys: she darts through the falling rain, locates the limp Toothless, and wraps around him in a furious blaze of wings and sound; she uses her breath and her warmth to resuscitate the paralyzed Night Fury and then lifts him clear of the water. At the same moment she sees Hiccup descending with Grimmel. The Light Fury turns and accelerates toward the falling pair. She dives in a steep nosedive, slicing into the air, and snaps Hiccup upward with a powerful thrust of wing and body just before the hunter reaches the sea.

Grimmel does not share their rescue. The camera follows him as his body strikes the ocean's surface with a violent, terminal impact; the waves close over him and he is not seen rising. Hiccup hits the water as well but the Light Fury is there to bear him away. In the wake of the skirmish the remaining hunters retreat, and the liberated dragons regroup above New Berk. Toothless, revived and bearing the Light Fury at his side, hovers over the cliff where the villagers watch the slow, painful rebalancing of their lives.

Hiccup reaches a terrible clarity in the aftermath: the dragons must be allowed to live where hunters cannot find them, and the humans of Berk must accept a new kind of separation. He rides Toothless to the cliff's edge in the days that follow and speaks to the assembled community. He tells the villagers that their dragons have a hidden home beneath the sea and rock and that only the people of Berk have ever fully understood and cherished the dragons. For the long-term safety of both species, he instructs Toothless to lead the dragons that wish it into the Hidden World, away from human eyes and away from hunters like Grimmel. He embraces Toothless and the Light Fury beneath the cliffside auroras, and then, with tears on many faces, the dragons lift away in a great, surging migration. Families of dragons and litters of hatchlings slip through the cavern mouths and vanish into the bioluminescent hush. The winged exodus is measured: some dragons who have flourished with the village choose to stay, comfortable with human companions; many others depart and are never seen again in the skies above New Berk.

Hiccup's life moves forward on an altered curve. He and Astrid marry in a private ceremony on the cliff, surrounded by a few close friends and watched from the sky by the dragons who remain. Their union is understated and real: vows exchanged, hands clasped, and the steady, watchful presence of Stormfire at Astrid's side. Time passes into years. Hiccup and Astrid raise two children, a boy and a girl, who grow up running the cliff's rim and learning to recognize dragon calls. One morning, when the children are young and eager, Hiccup and Astrid take them to the very edge of the world where the mist thins and the sky opens into an endless sheet of water and light. Toothless and the Light Fury appear with their own offspring and Stormfire arrives bearing Astrid's stead. The family of dragons lands close enough for the children to reach out a hand, and the dragons allow them to climb into saddles and to taste the wind.

The final image is quiet and deliberate: Hiccup and Astrid standing hand in hand as their children fly with Toothless and the Light Fury, who trail a generation of hatchlings behind them. The Hidden World remains distant and protected, its caverns closed to human exploitation. Grimmel's campaign has ended with his fall into the sea, his war against the dragons halted by that final plunge. The hunters who remain keep their distance after the loss of their leader. New Berk, smaller and calmer than it once was, endures on the cliffside, a community that has learned to balance presence and absence. Hiccup watches his son and daughter lift into the blue behind the dragons and feels the double ache of a leader who has lost some things in order to preserve others. The sequence closes with the dragons disappearing into the clouds beyond the cliff, the Light Fury and Toothless circling together with their young, and Hiccup, Astrid, and their children looking out to a horizon that keeps both danger and sanctuary in view.

Cynthia Rand, a urologist, and Stan Olszewski, a neighborhood security guard, form an unlikely friendship after Stan stops an attempted robbery at Cynthia's home. Their connection deepens as they share personal struggles and inspire each other to consider changes in their lives, leading to a complex and ambiguous relationship that grows throughout the film.

Cynthia is married to Warren Rand, a former Watergate prosecutor who is significantly older than her. Over time, she notices Warren's increasing agitation and forgetfulness, which leads to concerns about dementia. This situation contributes to Cynthia's disillusionment with her marriage and motivates her emotional journey and her growing bond with Stan.

Stan has a strained relationship with his daughter Sammi, an aspiring musician, due to past neglect. Throughout the film, he attempts to make up for lost time, which adds depth to his character and influences his personal growth alongside his evolving relationship with Cynthia.

CJ, whom Stan has saved in his phone as 'Grocery Girl,' is a considerably younger woman in her twenties whom Stan occasionally sees. This subplot adds complexity to Stan's character and his personal life outside of his connection with Cynthia.

Cynthia and Stan first meet when Stan stops an attempted robbery at Cynthia's home. During their encounter, Stan asks to use her bathroom due to a frequent urination issue, which leads Cynthia, a urologist, to offer to take him on as a patient. This chance meeting sparks their unlikely connection.
