Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a 2023 American fantasy action comedy directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. Chris Pine stars as Edgin Darvis, a charming, lute-playing thief who assembles a party of adventurers — including a barbarian played by Michelle Rodriguez, a sorcerer played by Justice Smith, a druid played by Sophia Lillis, and a paladin played by Rege-Jean Page — to pull off a heist that will reunite him with his daughter and right a wrong perpetrated by his former partner, played by Hugh Grant. The film captured the spirit of a tabletop D&D campaign with remarkable precision — the bickering party dynamics, the improvised problem-solving, the creative use of spells in unexpected ways, and the willingness to find humor in failure all felt authentically drawn from the game experience.

Hugh Grant's villain, a charming con artist rather than a dark lord, was a deliberate subversion of fantasy genre expectations. Honor Among Thieves earned $208 million worldwide on a $150 million budget.
