El Cid (1961)
ActionDramaHistorieLiebesfilmKriegsfilm
Der Film spielt in Spanien um 1080 zur Zeit der Reconquista. Maurische Truppen verwüsten das Grenzland zum christlichen Spanien, töten Geistliche und verwüsten Kirchen. Der spanische Edelmann Rodrigo Díaz betritt eher zufällig das Kampfgebiet, sieht die Zerstörungen und kann in einem kurzen Gefecht die Mauren unschädlich machen. Unter den Gefangenen befinden sich fünf hochrangige Muslime, unter ihnen der Al-Mutamin, der Emir von Saragossa. Er lässt sie entgegen der Order des Königs frei. Er scheut nicht den Kampf gegen die Muslime, will aber völlig zu Recht sie nicht weiter provozieren und so weitere Christen im Grenzgebiet gefährden. Die Freigelassenen sind über diese Geste verwundert. Rodrigo Díaz will jedoch die Spirale des Hasses nicht noch weiter nach oben schrauben, aus berechtigter Furcht vor Racheaktionen der Söhne der Wesire gegen die christlichen Spanier im Grenzland.
