But with Eragon (Ed Speleers)Õs discovery of a gleaming sapphire egg, which hatches a dragon he names Saphira (voiced by Rachel Weisz), the time of the Dragon Riders has come again. Having discovered his true path as a Dragon Rider, and with the help of his mentor Brom (Jeremy Irons), Eragon is determined to bring back the golden age of justice once known throughout the land, if he can survive the machinations of King Galbatorix.
