Five years on from making peace between dragons and the Vikings of Berk, Hiccup (Baruchel) and Toothless discover an ice cave that not only serves as a haven to dragons both old and new but also to Valka (Blanchett), Hiccup’s long-lost mother. However, they soon find themselves caught in the middle of a plot by dragon hunter Drago Bludvist (Hounsou) to use the dragons as a means for ruling the world…
