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. Amid shifting loyalties and fragile alliances, tensions also rise between Aegon and his queens. Visenya believes in ruling with unwavering force, while Rhaenys dreams of a united realm founded on hope rather than fear. As threats loom from within and beyond, Aegon must choose what kind of king he will be—and what legacy he will leave behind.

With stunning cinematography, epic aerial dragon battles, and a rich narrative steeped in myth and strategy, Aegon’s Conquest is a landmark cinematic event. It’s a must-see for fans of House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, offering a visceral, breathtaking look at the birth of Targaryen rule. This is not merely the story of a crown won—it is the forging of an empire through ambition, fire, and the will to dominate.
