Here's a link to the docs for mpmovieplayercontroller: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPMoviePlayerController_Class/MPMoviePlayerController/MPMoviePlayerController.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/MPMoviePlayerController/initWithContentURL:

It's as simple as creating a url to the local file using:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: ofType:]

Then passing this url into:

[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:]
