Legend of the Hero of the Realm is an indie 2011 High Fantasy movie. It stars a bunch of guys (and a couple girls) who no one has ever heard of before.

The movie takes place in the fictional land of Squadallah, which is ruled over by King Gary. His older brother, Count Verde, lost the crown after Gary (accidentally) saved his life in a battle against the Master of Evil. The Princess is kidnapped by the nefarious Lord Shadow and Lt. Darkness. In order to retrieve his daughter, Gary hires the gruff bounty hunter Gene Eric Hero. With the plucky young bard, Bardoc, at his side, Gene sets out on an epic quest full of action, adventure, and magic.

Tropes used in Legend of the Hero of the Realm include:

• Anti-Hero: Gene is somewhere between Types II and III.
