Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever is a 2002 science fiction action thriller film directed and produced by Thai filmmaker Wych Kaosayananda (under the pseudonym of 'Kaos'), from a screenplay by Alan B. McElroy. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu as opposing secret agents who team up to fight a common enemy. It was an international co-production with the United States, Canada, and Germany.

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever was overwhelmingly panned by critics, and is widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made. The film is the lowest rated film of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, holding a rare 0% rating with 117 reviews, the most out of the 44 films to hold this distinction with over 20 reviews as of August 2025. It was also a box-office bomb, grossing $20.2 million on a production budget of $35 million.
