Danger: Diabolik is a 1968 Italian-French action-thriller film directed by Mario Bava and based on the Italian comic book series about a master criminal named Diabolik. In the film, Diabolik (played by John Phillip Law) and his lover Eva Kant (played by Marisa Mell) plan and execute a series of daring robberies, stealing millions of dollars from government and private targets.
As they become increasingly successful, they attract the attention of the authorities, including Inspector Ginko (played by Michel Piccoli), who is determined to bring Diabolik to justice. Ginko is also pursued by Ralph Valmont (played by Adolfo Celi), a rival gangster who is jealous of Diabolik's success.
The film highlights Diabolik's ingenious and imaginative methods of stealing and evading capture, including the use of advanced technology and a customized, gadget-filled sports car. The film also features a decadent and psychedelic visual style, with vibrant colors, surreal imagery, and a groovy soundtrack.
As the police and criminals close in on Diabolik and Eva, a thrilling and action-packed showdown ensues, with surprising twists and turns.
Danger: Diabolik has since become a cult classic, known for its stylish visuals, campy humor, and iconic theme song. It has influenced numerous films, including the James Bond franchise and the more recent heist films like Ocean's Eleven.
