The Fairy King of Ar (originally released as Beings[1]) is a 1998 British direct-to-video fantasy adventure film co-written, co-produced and directed by Paul Matthews. It stars Corbin Bernsen, Glynis Barber and Malcolm McDowell.

Plot

Since as far back as Kyle and Evie Preston can remember, their grandmother told fantastical tales about fairies who had been trapped underground by giants for thousands of years. Now their grandmother is gone, and the siblings are surprised to discover that she has left them a decrepit gold mine and a family home they never even knew existed. Upon discovering that grandmother's far-fetched stories have a bizarre basis in reality, and that by freeing the fairies from the mine they will discover a cure for their terminally ill father, Kyle and Evie race against time to free the trapped fairies and save their father's life.

Cast
