Our take

Twenty five years before Indiana Jones braved the Temple of Doom, Fritz Lang returned to Germany to crown his career with a pulp adventure bursting with romance, intrigue, and spectacle. An astonishingly vibrant feat of production design, The Tiger of Eschnapur is now resplendently restored in 4K.
