Danger: Diabolik is a stylish cult classic based on the iconic Italian comic series by Angela and Luciana Giussani, following the exploits of master thief Diabolik.

Clad in a sleek, skin-tight black body suit, Diabolik (John Phillip Law) and his glamorous accomplice Eva Kant (Marisa Mell) operate from a cavernous, high-tech underground hideout, plotting daring, often absurd, heists. They consistently outwit Inspector Ginko and his league of not-so-extraordinary detectives.

Newly restored, the film riffs on 1960s spy capers, with its own distinctive colourful visual style and technical ingenuity from Italian giallo director Mario Bava. Ennio Morricone's score combines elements of psychedelia, disco, funk, free jazz, and rock opera.
