The Legend of Awesomest Maximus is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Jeff Kanew, starring Will Sasso. The film is a spoof of epic historical fantasy action films, most notably Troy, Gladiator, and 300, with the plot following a overweight, clueless Trojan general (Sasso) who is tasked with keeping the peace, but unwittingly sets off a war with Greece.
