See the films the platforms disagree about most →In the 16th century, a rabbi and mystic in the Prague ghetto creates a giant creature from clay to defend his persecuted Jewish community from an impending pogrom. Using ancient magic, he brings the silent giant to life. The Golem proves effective as a protector, but its mindless power soon becomes uncontrollable, turning it into a danger to all.
