Wizards (1977)

In a post-apocalyptic future that mirrors the grim shadows of World War II Europe and the mystic allure of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, the earth is no longer a dominion of humankind. Instead, it becomes a rebirthed realm, a stage set for the fantastical races of ancient lore to rise again. Amidst this turbulent evolution, twin sons are born to a faerie queen, fulfilling an ancient prophecy. These sons are wizards, one a beacon of virtue named Avatar, the other a disfigured embodiment of malevolence, Blackwolf. Avatar, a pint-sized wizard with a gentle spirit, pursues a life of peace, seeking to sidestep the bloodshed and despair prophesied. Contrastingly, Blackwolf, banished from the community due to his aggressive evil, yearns for vengeance against those who cast him aside. He harnesses the lost technologies of warfare and destruction, controlling a band of fascist mutants, and using films of Adolf Hitler's speeches to bewilder enemy ranks. When Blackwolf's attempts to assassinate Avatar fail, it triggers a change in the pacifist wizard. Avatar embarks on a quest, traversing magical and radioactive realms, to save the world from his twin's insidious grasp. Aiding him in his endeavor are Elinore, the enchanting Fairy princess, Weehawk, a fiery warrior elf, and Peace, a robot rebelling against his Blackwolf-driven programming. "Wizards" is a captivating blend of the bizarre and the psychedelic, a unique meditation on the clash between magic and technology. This ultimate futuristic epic cult film, with its stark contrasts of live-action footage of advancing Nazi armies and Saturday-morning-cartoon-style animation of fairies and elves, still captures the imagination of audiences worldwide and proves to be a rewarding experience for viewers in the right frame of mind. This timeless narrative culminates in the inevitable confrontation, a clash between good and evil that could determine the fate of the new earth.
