Taglines: The Epic Conclusion.
One year after the events of the second movie, Hiccup continues to rescue dragons with his fellow dragon riders and friends. Even though he has fulfilled his dream of creating a utopia where humans and dragons live together, Hiccup still tries to save dragons and bring them to Berk while dreaming of finding the mythical ‘Hidden World’, a dragons’ safe haven his late father Stoick told him about.
Unfortunately, his efforts have also resulted in the island becoming severely overpopulated with dragons. Meanwhile, a white female Fury[9] dragon, held captive by warlords, is given to infamous dragon hunter Grimmel the Grisly as bait for him to capture Toothless for the warlords’ use as an alpha.
Toothless discovers the female Fury (dubbed a ‘Light Fury’ by Astrid) in the woods around Berk, the two quickly becoming enchanted with each other; yet, the Light Fury senses Hiccup’s presence (him having followed Toothless) and flees. Hiccup and Tuffnut later discover Grimmel’s dragon traps in the woods. Grimmel visits Hiccup that night, but the latter has prepared an ambush to capture him; Grimmel manages to escape, burning Hiccup’s house in the progress. Hiccup rallies Berk’s citizens and dragons to leave Berk on a quest to find the Hidden World.
Mid-journey, the Berkians discover an island which they initially plan to rest on; soon, though, they decide to settle there, even if only temporarily. Seeing Toothless’s inability to fly solo hindering his growing relationship with the Light Fury, Hiccup builds him an automatic tail. Upon receiving the tail, Toothless flies off, meeting the Light Fury on his own and flying with her to an unknown land. Valka, on a scouting patrol, notices Grimmel’s approaching army, quickly reporting back to warn Hiccup. Hiccup and the dragon riders head to capture Grimmel; yet, they fall into his trap, barely escaping. Ruffnut, however, is captured but soon let go to return to the Berkians, followed unbeknownst by Grimmel.
Hiccup and Astrid search for Toothless, finding the Hidden World and seeing Toothless and the Light Fury leading the dragons there as alphas and mates. However, the two are soon discovered, Toothless being forced to leave and take Hiccup and Astrid back to the Berkians. Hiccup realizes his people wouldn’t be safe living with dragons in the Hidden World, and moreover, have no business intruding on it. Suddenly, Grimmel, having followed Ruffnut, appears, capturing Toothless and the Light Fury.
