My Father the Hero (original French title: Mon père, ce héros) is a 1991 French film directed by Gérard Lauzier and starring Gérard Depardieu. An English language remake of the movie was made in 1994 with Gérard Depardieu reprising his role.
The name of the film comes from a famous poem by the French poet Victor Hugo, "Mon père, ce héros," published in 1859.
