A barmaid's ordinary night turns into a chase through hidden worlds in Mia and the Dragon Princess, a 2023 British action-fantasy that mixes street-level crime with something far stranger hiding just beneath it.
What is Mia And The Dragon Princess about?
Mia works behind the bar in a life that runs on routine until a frightened stranger stumbles in, unable to speak a word of English and clearly being hunted by men who mean her serious harm. What starts as an act of instinctive protection quickly pulls Mia into a conflict that has nothing to do with the ordinary criminals chasing them and everything to do with a hidden lineage the stranger is trying to outrun. As the two women stay one step ahead of their pursuers, Mia is dragged into a world of old power and buried secrets she never knew existed, forcing her to decide how far she'll go for someone she just met.
About the cast
Noa Nikita Bleeker leads as Mia, with Paul McGann, MyAnna Buring, and Brian McCardie rounding out a supporting cast that spans grounded crime-thriller menace and something closer to myth. Director Richard Foster keeps the tone anchored in Mia's very human reactions even as the story around her expands.
Context & significance
Made in the United Kingdom and released in 2023, the film runs 83 minutes and is very much a niche entry that found few defenders — a scrappy, low-budget piece in the fantasy-action space rather than a mainstream tentpole. Its blend of urban setting and hidden mythology gives it a distinct, low-key genre identity, and its compact runtime keeps the chase-driven plot moving without much padding.
