The Dungeon Masters is set against a backdrop of a crumbling middle-class America, where three adults have devoted themselves to the storied game Dungeons & Dragons. But their complicated fantasies are at odds with their mundane real lives, and they find it increasingly difficult to gain satisfaction from the imaginary triumphs provided by Dungeons & Dragons. Along the way, director Keven McAlester reveals his subjects’ actual heroism: summoning the courage to face life’s hardships head on. The Dungeon Masters re-imagines the themes of classic heroic cinema, creating a moving picture of large struggles and small victories.
