What happens

In the Name of the King (also known as Dungeon Siege: In the Name of the King or In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale) is a 2007 fantasy action film directed by Uwe Boll and starring Jason Statham, Claire Forlani, Leelee Sobieski, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Ray Liotta and Burt Reynolds with Kristanna Loken. It is inspired by the Dungeon Siege video game series, and was an international co-production between Germany, Canada, and the United States. It premiered at the Brussels Festival of Fantastic Films on April 11, 2007, and was released in theatres on November 29, 2007. It is the first installment in the In the Name of the King film series. Upon its release, the film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing only $13.1 million against a budget of $60 million. Nevertheless, it spawned two sequels—In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds and In the Name of the King 3: The Last Mission. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
