The Brothers Grimm is a 2005 fantasy film directed by Terry Gilliam that is hardly based on the historical Brothers Grimm but reinvents them as fictional characters.

When the French occupying forces, led by General Delatombe and his henchman Cavaldi, get wind of the scam, they quickly capture the brothers and give them a choice: either a slow, painful death in Cavaldi's torture cellar or a trip to the small village of Marbaden to solve the mystery of a supposedly enchanted forest and the disappearance of young girls there.
