Invincible is a 2001 drama film written and directed by Werner Herzog. The film stars Tim Roth, Jouko Ahola, Anna Gourari, and Max Raabe. The film tells the story of a Jewish strongman in Germany. While based on the real-life figure, Zishe Breitbart , Herzog uses the bare facts of Breitbart's life to weave fact and fiction to create an allegory of human strength, knowing oneself, with honesty also pride in one's heritage. The film features original score composed by renowned German film composer Hans Zimmer, co-written with fellow composer Klaus Badelt. Along with films like The Pledge ... this marks one of the first projects of Badelt into the feature film industry, and one of several collaborations with Herzog as well. Siegmund Breitbart is the son of a blacksmith in rural Poland. He is fantastically strong, largely from working at hard labor all day. A talent agent sees how strong Breitbart is in his Jewish shtetl home and convinces him to move to Berlin where he can find work as a strongman.
