In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) is a fantasy action-adventure film directed by Uwe Boll, loosely based on the video game series Dungeon Siege. The film stars Jason Statham as Farmer, a humble man whose life is turned upside down when his wife, played by Claire Forlani, is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer named Gallian, portrayed by Ray Liotta. Set in a medieval fantasy world, the story follows Farmer as he embarks on a quest to rescue his wife and seek revenge against Gallian.

Along the way, he teams up with a band of rebels led by Norick (played by Ron Perlman) and other characters, including Duke (John Rhys-Davies), to fight against Gallian’s forces, which include brutal henchmen and magical creatures. The film explores themes of love, vengeance, and heroism. It features classic elements of fantasy films, such as sword fighting, magic, and epic battles. However, it received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many pointing out its thin plot and lack of character development. Despite its negative reception, In the Name of the King has gained a cult following for its campy charm, over-the-top action sequences, and unintentional humor. The film is often cited in discussions about Uwe Boll’s unique approach to filmmaking, which has drawn both criticism and a certain degree of fascination. Overall, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale remains a notable entry in the fantasy genre, particularly for fans of B-movies and those looking for a light-hearted adventure filled with action and fantasy tropes.
