Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi produces a giant warrior to secure the security of his individuals. Sculpted of clay and also computer animated by the mysterious tricks of the Cabala, the Golem was an apparently indestructible juggernaut, doing acts of excellent heroism, yet equally with the ability of awful physical violence. When the rabbi's aide takes control of the Golem as well as tries to use him for self-indulgent gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi's daughter and also setting fire to the ghetto.
