In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007) is a fantasy action film directed by Uwe Boll, loosely based on the popular video game Dungeon Siege. The movie stars Jason Statham, who plays the protagonist, Farmer, a simple man seeking to rescue his wife from an evil sorcerer. The film’s plot revolves around a kingdom under siege by an army of creatures controlled by the dark forces, with Farmer joining the fight against the sorcerer and his monstrous army.

The film features a large ensemble cast, including Burt Reynolds, Leelee Sobieski, and Ray Liotta, though it received negative reviews for its weak dialogue, inconsistent pacing, and reliance on fantasy tropes. Despite this, In the Name of the King has gained a certain cult following among fans of B-grade fantasy films.

The production was criticized for its low-budget effects and a story that many considered derivative of other fantasy epics. However, it has found a place in the larger collection of Uwe Boll films, known for their often controversial quality and mixed reception. In the Name of the King is one of Boll’s more ambitious attempts at adapting a video game franchise into a cinematic format, although it is largely remembered for its shortcomings rather than its successes.
