The Fall is a 2006 film by Tarsem Singh, starring Lee Pace, Catinca Untaru, and Justine Waddell. It is based on the screenplay of the 1981 Bulgarian film Yo Ho Ho by Valeri Petrov. The film earned over $3 million worldwide and was met with mixed reviews. The film was released to theaters in 2008. It should not be confused with another 2008 release of the same title, a legal drama by John Krueger. In 1920s Los Angeles, stuntman Roy Walker (Lee Pace) is in a hospital, bedridden and possibly paralyzed after a jump he took in his first film.

Roy tells her she is named after Alexander the Great, one of the greatest warriors of all time, and begins to tell her a story about him. A doctor tells Alexandria she has to leave, but not before Roy promises to tell her an epic tale if she will return the next day. The next morning, as Roy spins his tale of fantasy, Alexandria's imagination brings his characters to life. Roy's tale is about five heroes: a silent Indian warrior, a muscular ex-slave named Otta Benga (see Ota Benga, possible
