Starring: Henry Cavill

The rise of House Targaryen begins in fire and blood.

In Aegon’s Conquest (2025), Henry Cavill commands the screen as Aegon Targaryen in a sweeping retelling of the invasion that changed the fate of Westeros forever. Backed by a massive production budget, the film blends grand-scale warfare, political maneuvering, and emotional stakes to deliver one of the most ambitious cinematic interpretations of Westerosi history to date.

The story opens with Aegon’s legendary landing at Blackwater Bay and the founding of Aegonfort—his first step toward unifying the fractured Seven Kingdoms. Alongside his warrior sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, Aegon launches a fiery campaign to claim the Iron Throne, forging alliances, crushing opposition, and leaving dragonfire in his wake.

The film’s centerpiece—the burning of Harrenhal by Balerion the Black Dread—stands as a breathtaking moment of devastation and power, brought to life through groundbreaking visual effects and unrelenting tension.
