Fight club.

The police eject a large number of LARPers into a field, where they go their separate ways. Three of them with better costumes pull an old man out of a ravine, then go about gathering more knights who have just completed quests, and suddenly being told by god that they were supposed to be finding a cup all along, at which point they begin to go their separate ways one by one until only one is left with nothing but a servant, and he disappears into the mist after an argument with a castle guard.

Shoot... it's kind of obscure, but given the forum's interests I figured people would know it. Or maybe I just gave a shitty description?

Here's a hint: it's not District 9, but there is a connection between the two films.
