"King Corn" is a feature documentary film released in October 2007 following college friends Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis as they move to Greene, Iowa to grow and farm an acre of corn. In the process, Cheney and Ellis examine the role that the increasing production of corn has for American society.

The film shows how the industrialization of corn has all but eliminated the family farm. In addition, by producing high fructose corn syrup, the processing of corn has an adverse impact on the health of America. The two return to the same small town that was coincidentally home to both of their great-grandfathers.
