The Fall is a 2006 adventure fantasy film produced, co-written, and directed by Tarsem Singh and 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.[3] Presented by David Fincher and Spike Jonze,[4] the film was released in the United States on May 9, 2008 and earned $3.7 million worldwide.

In the years since its release, the film has become noteworthy for its lack of distribution and absence from any streaming platforms. Singh has worked to find distributors to re-release the film worldwide.[5] In July 2024, streaming service Mubi announced their acquisition of select distribution rights to a 4K restoration of the film, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival before streaming on Mubi on September 27, 2024.[6]
