Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a 2023 American fantasy heist comedy film directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Gilio from a story by Chris McKay and Gilio. Based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and has no connections to the previous film trilogy released between 2000 and 2012. Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant, the film follows bard Edgin Darvis (Pine) and barbarian Holga Kilgore (Rodriguez), who enlist a team of unlikely heroes to steal an ancient and powerful relic but come into conflict with evil forces. Production went through various phases in development since 2013, beginning with Warner Bros. Pictures after beating Hasbro and Universal Pictures in a lawsuit over the film rights to the tabletop role-playing game, before moving to Paramount Pictures, each with various writers and directors. Goldstein and Daley were the final writers/directors, using elements from the previous attempt by director Chris McKay and screenwriter Michael Gilio. Filming began in April 2021 in Iceland and later Northern Ireland. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 10, 2023, and was released in the United States on March 31, 2023, by Paramount Pictures. The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of the cast, Goldstein and Daley's direction, visual effects, writing, score, humor, and tone, but underperformed at the box office, grossing over $208.2 million worldwide, possibly falling short of its break-even point.

Kira wasn'’t the only new recruit. We also added Simon, a so-so sorcerer, and a con man named Forge, who pushed us to aim even higher.

Yes, we were thieves, but I tried to hold us to a certain standard. We never harmed anyone. And we only robbed from those who would feel it the least.

But everything changed when we met the wizard Sofina.

We knew almost nothing about her. Only that she wanted our help in robbing Korinn'’s Keep. That'’s a Harper stronghold. I don'’t know if you'’ve heard of it. I'’m sure Jarnathan has. The keep was filled with the priceless relics seized from evildoers, and only Harpers could gain access to the vault. Which is why Sofina came to us. At first, I refused. I wouldn'’t stoop that low. But then Forge told me that among the relics in Korinn'’s Keep, there was a Tablet of Reawakening, capable of bringing back a single deceased person. Even one killed by a Red Wizard'’s blade. You can probably see where this is going. Why can'’t I come?Sorry, Kir, this one'’s too dangerous. Then you shouldn'’t go.

Chin up, Bug. We'’ll be right back. I didn'’t tell her about the tablet. It would break her heart if it all went to shit. And, well, to shit it went.

The truth is, even if this council were to sentence me to another two years, or 20 for that matter, it would never be punishment enough for the worst crime I ever committed... robbing my daughter of her father. But know that, if you do choose to free me, I'’ll spend the rest of my days trying to right that wrong.
