Invincible was the first dramatic work by Werner Herzog in a decade. He assembled a typically eclectic cast - including Tim Roth (Meantime), Udo Kier (Exposé) and two-time World's Strongest Man Jouko Ahola - and blended the lives of three equally eclectic real-life figures - Jewish strongman Zishe Breitbart, Austrian clairvoyant Erik Jan Hanussen, and German chief of police Count Wolf-Heinrich von Helldorff - in order to interweave fact and fiction in his typically idiosyncratic way.
