One of the best films ever made, and the magnum opus of director Fritz Lang's career. Based on a medieval epic poem, this film (the first of two) tells the story of Siegfried, a hero who becomes almost completely immortal to injury by bathing in the blood of a slain dragon. When Siegfried comes to the court of King Gunther, he finds friendship, love - and treachery.
