Siegfried von Xanten wrests the legendary treasure of the Nibelungs from the king of the underworld and defeats the dragon Fafnir, bathing in its blood to become invulnerable. However, he then falls in love with the sister of King Gunther of Burgund, leading to frictions between them at the court.
The most expensive film made in postwar Germany at the time, this two-part remake of Fritz Lang’s silent epic is a colourful blast of swords and sorcery, muscled heroes, and tyrant kings. Bringing the best in 1960s tech to the table—that dragon!—Die Nibelungen is a marvellous carnival of kitsch.
