What is Blood & Gold? WWII Action Movie Explained” - Netflix Tudum
A German soldier flees his post in the waining days of World War II in hopes of salvaging a life back home with his family. He doesn’t believe in this war — he never has. When a ruthless squad of SS troops catches him, he’s hanged for treason and left for dead. But after he’s rescued by a stranger, the Nazis find themselves on the receiving end of his vengeance. From director Peter Thorwarth (Blood Red Sky), Blood & Gold is a neo-spaghetti Western war movie with the kind hyper-violence and gore that echoes stylistic predecessors like Inglourious Basterds.

What happens in Blood & Gold?
Germany, spring 1945. After six years of war, German soldier Heinrich has had enough and abandons his post. Eventually, the Nazis catch him and hang him, but as soon as they depart, a woman named Elsa comes along and saves him just in time. As she and her brother, Paule, nurse Heinrich back to health, the Nazis set up in a nearby town, searching for gold that was hidden by a Jewish family. Unbeknownst to the troop, the gold has been unearthed and taken by a group of villagers. Who’ll end up with the gold — and who’ll end up dead — is anyone’s guess.
